I went up to Highrock Park a few days ago to check if any new spring wildflowers had appeared. Above is the one I was specifically looking for, the lovely little magenta blooms called Shooting Stars (Dodecatheon hendersonii).

Situated on the far west coast of Canada, on the southern tip of Vancouver Island, Victoria is the capital city of the Province of British Columbia. Its benign climate (the warmest winters in Canada) and placid lifestyle make it a favorite retirement location as well as a popular tourist destination. About 400,000 people live in Victoria and adjacent communities.

I've seen those but never knew what they were called.
Glorious picture - though I can't believe it's in bloom now!
What a pretty little flower! Welcome, Spring!
Quite a lovely flower!
I don't think I have ever seen one like this one. Very pretty!
