  balsamroot_careys.jpg - Carey's Balsamroot (Balsamorhiza careyana) Often confused with Arrow-leaf Balsamroot, but has multiple flowers per stem and smooth, shiney leaves. Most of the big Balsamroots in Central Washington are Carey's. One way to tell them apart is with your thumb and forefinger, pull lightly on a leaf. If it feels rough like fine sandpaper, it's a Carey's Balsamroot. If it feels soft and smooth like cat fur, it's an Arrow-leaf Balsamroot. The Balsamroots put on quite a show of yellow in Spring.
