What may be ookow as seen atop Bilger Ridge to the northeast of Myrtle Creek, OR........June 9, 2017. I'd probably want to return in better light conditions to look at these plants and confirm their ID as several cluster lily species can be found within 20-30 miles of this location.
The leaves of ookow observed in the webmaster's Gresham, OR garden........February 29, 2024. The leaves are glaucous blue-green color and tend to be somewhat U-shaped in cross-section.
