Natural History Wanderings

The Solano Land Trust Flickr site had the following report for a hike on 4/5/17

Good morning.Hiked Jepson yesterday focusing on Buck and South pastures. Limnanthes and Blennosperma have peaked and are dimishing (althought the rains may stimulate further growth) and Lasthenia is beginning to dominate. Also oberserved a lot of Trifolium (barbigerum, wildenovii, variegatum), Castilleja campestris are significantly represented in many pools. Buck still has a fair amount of water standing in the central complex but is beginning to display it’s normal array of Downingia (concolor, pusilla, bella), Plagiobothrys, Castilleja, Cicendia, Gratiola, Pilularia and Eleocharis.The coming rains may rejuvenate bloom of some Blennosperma and Limnanthes.
