California Spring Wildflowers - Part 7

 As we started our fifth visit on Figueroa Mountain Road, Grass Mountain was at peak color.


The Hummingbird Sage was putting on a nice display.


We saw more of the Red-skinned Onions blooming.


This trip we started seeing lots of Crinkled Onions blooming.


Good displays of Poppies covered several parts of the mountains.


 We took a short side trip on the recently opened Catway Road (aka Zaca Ridge Road).

A nice display down below the road.


Distant Phacelia


Another great display up above the road


On this visit we took the road up to the top of Figueroa Mountain and passed great displays of Lupine.



A view of the ridge called Hurricane Deck from the mountain top


A great display of Poppies on the back way down


Further along Figueroa Mountain Road, we found more Chocolate Lilies than we remembered seeing in one place before.
