Lilies, budding at 4,000' in the shade of Red Fir atop the South Fork Mountains. Think these will turn out to be Leopard Lilies, Lilium pardalinum, based off the location and elevation.

Edit: I've gone back to the spot, turns out they are washington lilies, Lilium washingtonianum purpurescens

Trinity Monkey Flower, Pink-margined monkey flower, Erythranthe trinitiensis, at 4,000' in the South Fork Mountains. An exciting Klamath Mountains endemic I hadn't come across before, and a California rare plant rank 1B3.
