Washington Twinpod This little plant will actually become more interesting looking when it's seed pods form. The plant forms air bladders larger than the flowers that have a greenish to delicate pink-orange color. It is endemic to Washington, and though not particularly hard to find, fairly rare because it is one of the plants that grows only in isolated communities on serpentine outcrops.
