caption_attribution_description: Scientific name: Allium amplectens Common name: Narrowleaf Onion Spring is here and the flowers are in full bloom at one of Oregon's natural gems. Located on the western edge of Eugene, Oregon, the West Eugene Wetlands (WEW) is a beautiful and rare area of grassland habitats. Comprised of less than one percent of the original native wet prairie, the WEW is home to over 200 species of wildflowers, plants, birds, and animals, including four threatened and endangered species: Fender’s blue butterfly, Kincaid’s lupine, Bradshaw’s lomatium, and Willamette daisy. The BLM's Eugene District, in collaboration with other Rivers to Ridges partners, works to protect and restore this vital wetland ecosystem in the Southern Willamette Valley. This unique project involves federal, state, and local agencies, as well as non-profit organizations, working together to manage lands and resources in an urban area for multiple public benefits. Each year, Willamette Resources &amp; Educational Network (WREN) provides hands-on, minds-on environmental education to over 1,500 local students.

context_page_description: Allium amplectens is a species of wild onion known by the common name narrowleaf onion. It is native to British Columbia, Oregon, Washington State and California, where it grows in woods and especially in clay and serpentine soils.
  Allium amplectens grows from a pinkish-brown bulb and sends up a naked green stem topped with an inflorescence. When closed, the inflorescence is wrapped in bright pink to magenta bracts. These open to produce between 10 and 50 shiny white to pale pink flowers, each under a centimeter wide. The six stout stamens and the ovary are white or tinted pink or lavender.
  Cultivars include 'Graceful'.
