Trail Plant or Pathfinder, Adenocaulon bicolor
Growing along a path at Moulton Falls County Park in SW Washington, these native flowers are easy to miss since they are quite small. The "bicolor" in the botanical name for this plant is due to the green front side and silvery back side of the leaves.

I love this low-key, easily overlooked plant, which doesn't shout about itself, yet is so quietly helpful, showing the path from whence one has come, helping one find their way home.
