Sandy, where did you take the Sierra Foothills, Merced River photos? They are amazing. I need to go there this year. I have never seen hills that steep covered with so many flowers.

They were taken along highway 140 between Hite’s Cove and the El Portal. The hillsides were exceptionally good that year.

The oldest bristlecone is not in Patriarch grove. It is in the Shulman grove and is called Methusula. It is now untagged as people were taking parts of it. Your Photos and notes are just great. Lynn

Thanks for the addition and your comments. I actually, meant the Bristlecones as a group were the oldest trees. I am aware the Methusula tree is in the Schulman area. I think it is good thing that there are no signs identifying it.

Sandy, at Pt Reyes yesterday we saw a bright orange lily-type flower, bright like a CA poppy and the same size, with a purple center, and like a yellow daisy in the middle of that. Any idea what it might be? I can send you a picture . I cant find it in my i.d. books.

It is Sparaxis tricolor from South Africa. A non-native, which may have been planted or escaped from a garden. This would explain why you didn’t find it in a wildflower guide or list.
