Family : Asparagaceae [some sources: Liliaceae]
This meadow spring wildflower with blue violet star-shaped flowers is native to Canada and the United States, found along the Pacific Northwest coast and east into Idaho. Six species of Camassia are recognized in North America.
Long treasured by the First Nations people, celebrations are still held using this diet staple. It was a cherished plant for cooking, high in food value. The sweet bulbs, when dry-roasted or baked, yield the carbohydrate inulin, which is converted to fructose as it cooks.

I have done several versions of my original macro image in a painterly style, with varying degrees of depth and delicacy. This is one of them. I've been feeling in a quiet mood, so this is a subtle posting .... I had superimposed more than one of my original images,added a teeny soft texture, and painted digitally.
