Two photos above showing a close-up views of the corolla of elegant brodiaea as seen along the North Fork of the Umpqua River to the northeast of Roseburg, OR........June 26, 2005. The staminodes (paddle-like, white appendages at the bases of 3 tepals) are widely separated from the central stamens, a characteristic of this species.
