Brief Wildflower Reports

I just drove up the coast to SF from the L.A. area. I stopped
by Montana de Oro on the way and didn't see many flowers, except for a
bunch of yellow flowers on the bluffs overlooking that cove with a parking
lot next to it.

I saw lupine along the hills and along the roadside between Santa Barbara
and Buellton. Moonstone Beach in Cambria is looking a nice colored yellow
with similar flowers to Montana de Oro. There's a beach area with mustard
fields a little past Piedras Blancas right before you climb into the
mountains.

It was getting dark, but I think there were two fields of mustard on both
sides of PCH right along the Carmel River.

i spent the 9th and 13th at Anza Borrego. Maybe it was my imagination but
I thought the verbena and primrose looked better on the 9th along
Henderson Canyon Rd. The sunflowers appeared taller on the 13th though.



Lake Street in Lake Elsinore had great poppies on the 9th. They were
closed up on the 13th due to overcast conditions.

A week ago, I was driving around Chino Hills/Walnut area near my hometown
and checked out the lupine site right off the 60 next to the Burger King.
There are a lot of flowers on the hillsides but it was undesirable to shoot.
Grand Ave. has tons of traffic, there's not really a sidewalk there and
the hillside is fenced off.
