Comments	Flowers are a little sparser than I was expecting, but still lots of nice beauties in bloom. Bitterroot (Lewisii rediviva) is just starting to come out -- might peak around next weekend. Swaths of Sea blush (Plectritis congesta) make the fields pretty pink. Also in bloom (that I can ID somewhat confidently!): - Bicolored cluster lily (Triteleia grandiflora var. howellii) - Penstamen - California poppy (Eschscholzia californica) - Lupine (Lupinus sp) - Filaree (Erodium cicutarium) - Pungent Desert Parsley (Lomatium grayi) - Shooting Star (Dodecatheon poeticum) - Common monkey-flower (Mimulus guttatus) - Balsamroot (Balsamorhiza) - Camas (Camassia quamash) - Death camas (Zigadenus venenosus)
