Physaria acutifolia (Double Bladderpod)
Found hiking the Tower Bridge Trail, Bryce Canyon National Park, June 5, 2017
No blooms were left, darn it, but the pods are a pretty cool sight all by themselves. At some angles they look almost translucent, like oddly shaped paper bags. Closer views expose the bumpy texture. Some of the plants produce a beautiful lavender colored pod.
