Identifying a Flowering Plant
Does any one know what this plant is? I think it's in the Liliaceae Family. I found it in northeast Oregon. It was on a ridgetop with hundreds of others like it. I don't have a fresh one.

Even though it is more purplish, that looks kind of like what is called a 'Blue Flag'. It's of the Iris family Iridaceae. The Blue Flag is more common to the northeast though, but you never know.

bushg agrees: yep, your right about the flag or iris , but I don't believe they grow wild or at least I haven't seen them in the wild.

I didn't look like that. The flower was a bell shape

I looked it up in the Audobon wildflower book and it says they grow in the northeast. That's all I know. I can't remember seeing them in the wild either

Both of the flowers grow wild.
