Habitat photos of Bolander's quillwort as seen on mudflats at the south end of Van Patten Lake, Wallowa-Whitman National Forest.......July 27, 2013. At this location, the plants are covered by water in winter into spring and then emerge as the water level of the lake lowers. At this point in time, some plants were still covered by as much as a foot of water.
