Early-season Bluebells - National Parks Gallery

Tall Bluebells (Mertensia paniculata) is the only bluebell found in Mount Rainier National Park, though three other bluebell species can be found in Washington. As its name suggests, Tall Bluebells is the largest of the four species, growing to reach 2-5 feet tall (0.6-1.5 m). Though it is common throughout the park, Tall Bluebells are particularly abundant along Westside Road.
