Re-population after the 2007 wildfire
Top 10 Fire Followers..more>>
Some plants with the largest numbers are very appealing, and some like sumac
aren't. Here's my top 10 list of the most and least
appealing plants of 2009 and what gets my vote for the weirdest, the coolest and
the most surprising wildflowers of 2008. The 2008
April and
June
slideshows are snapshots of what was growing in those months after the fire.

Spring Wildflowers 2010
march 2010
What a change from last spring - in the middle of March there weren't nearly as
many Lupinus Hirsutisimus or Phacelia Minor (stinging lupine and wild canterbury
bells) in the same areas as last year due to a growing lotus scoparius
population.
See what was blooming March 2010
or view the entire
Fallbrook Source wildflower collection.
may 2010
The March and April wildflowers have set their seed, miner's lettuce has been
gone for quite awhile... what's next? This year the california primrose
(camissonia californica) are blooming far behind the canterbury bells. The
california primrose are tall and leggy, but if you don't like the way they look
to begin with, just wait and you will be rewarded with their beautiful delicate
blossoms.
