- February/23/2020 Ella Wash East Loop
We immediately rescheduled our trip to Coachwhip to check out a spurge posted on iNaturalist.
This might be a Euphorbia ocellata arenicola | Contura creek spurge, but looked different from our previous find.
Our previous find is now gone, only the skeleton remains, maybe in another year.
Still an interesting area to visit, a lot of bloom originated from a October 2019 rain.
A lot of big flowering Hesperocallis undulata | Desert lily around.
- Fritillaria liliacea (fragrant fritillary) seen yesterday at Mt. Burdell Open Space Preserve in Marin.
- Fetid Adder’s Tongue at north side of King Mountain today.
