(34,125 posts)The flower looks like a Moth Mullein only waxy but the leaves are different all together. Whatever it is it is a beauty!
Could it be a type of Wintergreen?

(14,691 posts)know what it is but I like it. I'm in central/western Washington and I've noticed quite a few new wildflowers this year. It's great!

(34,125 posts)not too many new plants but the wildflowers are enjoying the wet and the heat and humidity. My pastures that are left for the wild are full of them. So wonderful.

To be more precise, I use the PlantNet app to identify plants using your iPhone camera. It works well. I'm sure there are other plant identification apps out there tho.

(9,678 posts)Chimaphila is found here in S. Idaho too, though you have to find a cool, wet, shady spot up in the trees above 5000 feet. Till a couple of years ago, I had only seen it further north.
