Description
Can you identify this wildflower? I came upon it, past its peak bloom, on a hillside above the Nisqually River near the southwest corner of Mount Rainier National Park in the state of Washington, USA. It was growing along with other common Northwest wildflowers, including lupine, Scot's broom and daisies.

I have a photograph similar to yours in my gallery, Sean. When I looked it up in one of my flower books it said it was Blue Centaurea Amethyst. You might check it out on the internet and see. Anyway your photograph is a beautiful capture.

Nice shot. I'm going with bachelor, I have a few shots of them. I can buy seed packets in multiple colors :-)

Hey Sean I think this looks a little like a miniature agapanthus http://www.google.com.au/imgres?start=150&hl=en&biw=1030&bih=489&gbv=2&tbm=isch&tbnid=vm79NO_dbsHDRM:&imgrefurl=http://mollysmaison.blogspot.com/2012/01/friday-flower-agapanthus.html&docid=_kf1qDaXOHgEAM&imgurl=http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-eq_w-eKOPls/Tx4vI6SewcI/AAAAAAAACwI/8B_uFbPdB7k/s1600/IMG_2116.JPG&w=612&h=612&ei=DN_iT9fENOSSiQeYppWqDw&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=762&vpy=132&dur=69&hovh=225&hovw=225&tx=65&ty=247&sig=114229437221997867266&page=11&tbnh=142&tbnw=142&ndsp=15&ved=1t:429,r:4,s:150,i:222

It is a type of a Bachelor Button, a perennial. You may be able to accurately identify it as Centaurea montana. Good luck!
