This large plant growing next to a stream was a little bit of a mystery at first, because it had already flowered and only had strange looking fruits on it. The leaves were large and split in three leaflets. A little searching showed it was a member of the Rose Family (Rosaceae) called largeleaf avens (Geum macrophyllum). It's native to western and northern North America.
Flowers appear in June and July, but by August only the seed is left.
Unless you get lucky and catch a few petals still clinging on!For more information about largeleaf avens, click here.
