A good year for spring flowers. Larkspur (delphinium) on Carol Rim are abundant but just past peak. Also: Large-fruited biscuit root, Blepharipappus scaber, Cryptantha, Lomatium (nine-leaf desert parsley), Fiddle neck (amsinckia intermedia), Agoseris glauca (false dandelion), John Day chaenictis (chaenictis nevii) just getting started, Bee plant (cleome lutea), Plectritis macrocera, etc. At or near the Red Hill trail the lewisia rediviva (bitterroot) are quite abundant along with Allium (wild onion). A good stand of thelypodium laciniatum high on the west ridge above the road and Tidy tips (layia gladulosa) nearby.
