Natural History Wanderings

New report from Oregon Wildflowers:

Coffin Mountain – Thousands of beargrass blooming literally covering the entire south facing slope along with some wallflower, blue phlox and serviceberry. Truly an unbelievable sight. I would say it is just about peaking now. The beargrass is also blooming alongside the path up to the slope along with lots of paintbrush, white iris, carpets of blue gilia, larkspur, oregon sunshine, buckwheat, sandwort and others I am sure I missed. I could tell it is a good year for beargrass blooms as they lined much of road 1168 leading up to the trailhead along with some rhodies.
