Natural History Wanderings

Wildflowers continue to pop in Plumas County. Recent spottings have included Leopard Lilies, Lady Slipper Orchids, Spotted Coral Roots, Violets and many Milkweeds.  The Oakland Camp and Spanish Creek are the locations of most reports.  No reports for Lakes Basin yet.  Although the only internet report I could find on Butterfly Valley only mentioned wild ginger but am guessing you will find a lot more in bloom there.  For photos and more details check out the following links:
