Ring Mountain Wildflower Hike

We went on a hike to Ring Mountain in Tiburon last weekend.  This location is known for it's native wildflowers, and the wildflowers are up!  And not only the early spring wildflowers, many later season species were already blooming also.  The drought seems to have compressed the blooming schedule into a quite a show.

Here are some of the beauties we saw.

 Calochortus (umbellatus?)





Achillea millefolium  and 

Calystegia



Platystemon californicus

Lasthenia (californica?)                                                       

Lasthenia and Layia platyglossa 

Sanicula

Quite a view these plants have




Nice bouldering also
