Natural History Wanderings

Rusty Scalf reports at the PInnacles

• Lots of Popcorn flowers (a little white Borage)
• a very few yellow Fiddleneck that were small (yet a couple blooming)
• Lots of Milk Maids
• Wonderful displays of Shooting Stars.
• In damp places the ground is carpeted with Miner’s Lettuce.  The moss is lush and the lichen are vibrant.
• Many of other plants like Clematis are beginning vegetative growth. Others like Black Sage and Eriogonum still look wintery and quite dormant. It is very green overall.
