Natural History Wanderings

Marin CNPS has the following wildflower report for Mt. Burdell.

 Mt. Burdell, near the San Carlos trailhead, the Toxicoscordion fremontii  (Frémont’s zigadene or death-camas) is  in fine bloom.

There were masses on the serpentine. The last time that it was like this was back in 2005.

Sadly it looks like gophers ate the Fritillaria liliacea bulbs.

There was not much else in bloom yet except a few Blennosperma nanum, two Lomatium macrocarpum  and some  Dichelostemma capitatum .
