Always amazed at what beauty Mother Nature has for us, and how determined she is to continue on.

What a valiant little tree, to rise twice now from the ashes and reach for the sky again.

It’s a banner year for iris on Long Ridge & in the Rocky Creek baisn, for sure. I saw the first flowers back in January, and there are huge clumps covered with blooms today.

Comment on Enforcing Order 95-10 by Ken Ekelund

XT, This article was really helpful for me to understand how we got to this point.
I haven’t seen anything in the media on this at all.
I wonder if anyone will ask Mr del Piero before the election, if he has any regrets for his central role on 95-10.
I would really like to know if he feels he learned anything or has changed his mind at all.
The article is still as applicable today as it was in 2009. Thanks.

Comment on Wildflower of the Week: Silver Lupine by Kurt Wx

I found a tiny seedling of this bush lupine two years ago along a road cut in Big Sur and thought I should “rescue” it and bring it to my house. I yanked it out of the soil and damaged all of its roots and just stuck in the soil outside my front door. It wilted and nearly died, but suddenly it doubled in size in a month, doubled again the next month then doubled the next month. It began to block the way in and out of the front door but I loved its symmetrical silvery sphere shape of dazzling leaves, and the next spring it became covered in stunning blue enormous flower spikes. I could not bring myself to “prune” the thing, and now it is approximately five feet in diameter, again covered in enormous deep blue flower spikes that bees love. It has produced a single offspring which I’ve planted in the terrible coastal sand soil in the front yard where it has begun to double in size. Thanks for this great blog entry. If anyone would like a specimen for their own property, I highly recommend this plant.

Love your wildflower reports. Here’s an addendum — with some beautiful photos by Debi — from upper Rocky Creek.
