Endangered Oregon wildflower makes a comeback
May 11, 2010
By Oregon Department of Agriculture

Portland has its Rose Festival. Woodburn hosts a tulip festival. For the 
Southern Oregon city of Jacksonville, a festival is dedicated to the showy 
red wildflower known as Gentner's fritillary. There are plenty of roses 
and tulips for everyone to enjoy, but the fritillary is a different story. 
The species of lily is on Oregon's endangered plant list and also has been 
similarly listed by the US Fish and Wildlife Service. Several partners, 
including the Oregon Department of Agriculture and the Jacksonville 
community itself, are working hard to keep the rare plant from going 
extinct.
