Plants thrive here in great variety, from small carnivorous plants that eat insects to 300-foot evergreen trees . Over a thousand plant species grow in the Olympics. Above treeline, hearty lichens cling to exposed rocks.
Wildflowers bloom throughout the park.
Nine endemic plant species live here, including the Flett's violet and Piper's bellflower that grow high in the mountains. Filling our noses, we are the heirs. Olympic Stewardship .
