We have been away for two weeks on a road trip to California. There are many, many photos from that trip to edit and I have yet to get started. Lots of images of dogs playing in the surf. Prepare yourself. But for the moment I thought I’d share a few flower photos.
When we left, most of the ground on our hillside was covered with snow. Now it’s all gone. The ash-covered dirt is ready for spring and in some places it is already covered with a fresh blush of new green grasses. And if I look closely I can find tiny wildflowers. Some of them seem to be flourishing after last year’s fire. It’s a relief to see color on our landscape again.
Lomatium – maybe gormanii. Salt and pepper
Fritillaria pudica, Yellow bells
More yellow bells
A clump of tiny seedlings. I wonder what they will be?
Claytonia lanceolata. Spring beauty
Currant emerging from roots of a burned shrub
Lewisia rediviva. Bitterroot. I found more of this than usual. It must respond positively to fire.
Balsamroot just emerging from the ground.
