This morning we went to Hildebrand Open Space park to check on the status of a couple of monitoring plots. A lot of flowers are blooming there. The list for today is: Jim Hill/tumble mustard (Sisymbrium altissimum), one-sided penstemon (Penstemon secundiflorus), copper mallow (Sphaeralcea coccinia), scarlet gaura (Gaura coccinea), western spiderwort (Tradescantia occidentalis), evening primrose (Oenothera flava), salsify (Trapogon dubius), Dalmatian toadflax (Linaria genistifolia dalmatica), Drummond's milkvetch (Astragalus drummondii), and Junegrass (Koleria macrantha). There was an unknown yellow aster that I need to figure out before posting.
