Natural History Wanderings

On February 15,  2011 the Carrizo Plain National Monument BLM site reported:

“A few Goldfields, Hillside Daisies and Fiddleneck are beginning to show up at the south end and east side of the monument. The Hillside Daisies are noticeable but do not occur in large quantities.  Because of recent the warm weather, the flowers are two to three weeks ahead of schedule.  However, the weather forecast for the next 10 days is colder, ranging from the mid-50s during the days to twenties and thirties at night.”
