Eastern OR flower 2
We saw these in the Strawberry Mountain Wilderness. Any ideas?
Re: Eastern OR flower 2
My guess would be Hound's Tongue, but I'm not sure in that. I checked here and they seem to be the closest match:

Hmm, yeah, I'm not sure if that's correct either. The stem looks thicker for those Great Hound's Tongue flowers, and their center color is white while the ones I saw were yellow. Perhaps they have that kind of variation, I'm not sure.
I'll try to crop a close-up later today for easier comparing.
