It belongs to the genus Camassia (the Camas Lillies) and the family Lilliaceae (the Lily family).

Note: some of the slideshows are missing because Adobe discontinued their flash player program and most of my slideshows were made with this. I am in the process of creating new shows now which takes a bit of time, so if there is something missing you want to see, please come back again. :-)
