Pearly Everlasting (Anaphalis margaritacea)

Bluff Lake Trail, Yakama Nation, Mt. Adams , WA, 8/2013.
We’ve been hiking on Mt. Hood, Mt. Adams and in the Gorge the last few weeks and have been seeing these everywhere, usually in large bunches. We’ve seen them on roadsides, trail sides and lower-elevation meadows.
Called “everlasting” because of the dried flower’s longevity, which makes them useful (and common) in dried flower arrangements. They are common throughout North America, Europe and Asia.

Paradise Park Trail, Mount Hood N.F., OR, 7/2013.

I’m from the Northeast, but had the privelege to visit Mt. Rainier just last week. I saw a lot of this flower up there!
