Last Weekend's Findings

 I've found Henderson's Shooting Star blooming on top of a hill overlooking Quincy, south-facing of course.  Soon larger and fleshier ones will be blooming in the shadier and moister areas.  Their early leaves are looking promising/

 Some small Death Camus are blooming in the same area as the Shooting Star.  Something has obviously munching on there.  I assume they're either immune or dead.  Found no evidence.

I finally found one fairly healthy-looking cluster of Manzanita blossoms.  Most of the ones in this particular area look pretty drought stressed.
