There were some prominent flowers on my recent Wallowas trip that I'm not familiar with. Anybody know?

Okay, the middle blue one is the Wallowa penstemon, which as the name implies, is endemic to these mountains!

I believe the first is White Mariposa Lily (Calochortus eurycarpus)

The third one is a saxifrage, or at least something in the saxifrage family. Maybe Saxifraga caespitosa.
Re: Flower help
The third one is Nuttall's linanthus (Leptosiphon nuttallii) - phlox family. It is common in the Wallowas and also in parts of the Cascades, especially around Crater Lake.

Oops. I think that one has fooled me before.
