May 7, 2016

We’ve had an El Nino year of plentiful rain followed by warm, sunny days yielding this abundance of wildflowers along the Graham & Dunn Trails on April 3, 2016.

 

SPECIAL THANKS TO STAN DODSON OF OAKLAND TRAILS for advising on best wildflower trails this year. Stan’s terrific film “Trailhead” is posted at that website, and he’s available for information, film screenings for the community with Q&A sessions afterwards, and to lead special tours.

 

 

CAN YOU HELP IDENTIFY THE FLOWERS MISSING NAMES?

I’ve attempted to identify most, but if you have corrections (ON ENTIRE ARRAY) please post in comments!!!
