    Hi everyone!

    I was wondering if you could help my uncle identify these flowers that are pictured. There are three, I think, and they're from the Northwest United States near the Mt. Rainier region and a few other mountains in the area...

    Any ID's or pointers in the right direction would be appreciated!!

    Anyone? Wild Flower experts? :) or a point in the right direction would work!

    Thanks for the reminder! I intended to look at this at work, but I keep forgetting. I'll give a first impression, though:

    Flowers 1 and 3 are penstemons, and the other flower with the bright blue petals and the white "eye" is a Phacelia.

    Unfortunately, I don't have an alpine plant or a Pacific Northwest flora book at home to narrow it down within those broad groups, but it is a start.
