From the bus it was easy to spot what looked like sunflowers. They were quite common. It’s just difficult to get a good shot from a moving bus.
On the way to Mammoth Springs we stopped at Undine Falls. The parking area had its share of wildflowers, including the sunflower-like plants.
The plant is an Arrowleaf Balsam Root or Balsamorhiza sagittata. This first picture is mostly of the flower itself. The leaves are broad arrowhead like, giving it part of its name. I took a shot that shows off the leaves rather than the flower.
Just an aside. Our hungry squirrel in Post #1 is chewing on the leaves of one of these plants.
