Today we went to Ring Mt. on the Tiburon Peninsula in Marin County. We drove up Westward Drive and came in from side. Most of the time was spent in the Serpentine area photographing Tiburon Mariposa Lily Calochortus tiburonensis, which was in bloom and in good numbers. Most abundant plants seen today were Pitted Onion Allium lacunosum var. lacunosum, Hayfield Tarweed/Hemizonia congesta ssp. congesta and Ithuriel’s Spear Triteleia laxa.
