These flowers grow only along our ridge line and I found only about half a dozen plants on my walks. Hard to see, these flowers only grow about a foot off the ground and have small clusters of flowers that are about the size of a dime. They are part of a genus of about 45 species that grows in the northern hemisphere. This species is found only in the Pacific northwest and is uncommon. The name comes from the resemblance of some species flowers to that of a cat's toes! :)
