Bitterroot
Latin: Lewisia rediviva
Lewisia is a beautiful, but difficult to grow western American wildflower that honors Meriwether Lewis.
Bitterroot was first described as new to science in 1813 from specimens collected during one of the first western expeditions across the United States to the Pacific coast, but the species was already well-known and used by local Native Americans.
Pygmy Bitterroot is a low growing perennial with long, skinny, fat leaves that are about 4 inches long. They look sort of like the leaves of an Allium, or Ornamental Onion.

Bitterroot Turf Farm - in operation since 1994, this sod farm is located in Bitterroot Valley, Montana. The Bitterroot Turf Farm grows Kentucky bluegrass sod and a mixed sod of Kentucky bluegrass and fine fescue.
Tribes timed their spring migrations with the blooming of the bitterroot on the gravel river bars and hillsides. Dug, cleaned, and dried, the root provided a lightweight, nutritious supplement to a wild-game diet.
