Spring Wildflowers - Part II

On Friday March 26th, we traveled with a small group back up to Figueroa Mountain.  Below are a few of the images taken during that visit.

Lupine with a few Poppies in the background


Blue Dicks or Wild Hyacinth
(Dichelostemma capitatum)

California Four O'clock or Wishbone Bush
(Mirabilis californica)

The mountains were incredibly  green this spring.


Globe Gilia
(Gilia capitata)

Chocolate Lily
(Fritillaria biflora)

California Poppy
(Eschscholzia californica)

Another Lupine.


Our favorite hillside near the Catway Road turnoff was again beautifully covered with a mass of Poppies and Lupines.




More Lupines.
