2003: A Season of California Wildflowers - Yosemite, San Bernadino Mts, Kernville
While my wife and I were settling in in southern California, winter was dropping just the right amount of moisture on places that would respond with explosions of rainbows. In April, after visiting many of the same areas more than once, we traveled further north, up to the western side of Yosemite. Though we got snowed on, the lower elevations were in bloom.

2003: A Season of California Wildflowers - the Western Mojave Desert
My wife and I started the year in Long Beach, where we discovered such new wildflowers as Bush Sunflower and Giant Coreopsis and Sea Dahlias. Meanwhile, winter was dropping just the right amount of moisture on places that would respond with explosions of rainbows. We had no idea the carnival of colors, or new species of wildflowers that lurked in our future. As it turned out, 2003 was one bodacious year for wildflowers in California, and we were knee deep in it and sinking fast.

2003: A Season of California Wildflowers – Mt. Dana in July
Heading to Yosemite in late July, I certainly expected the rainbow parade to be long gone. It was summer; it was dry; many of the rocky peaks were still snow-covered; all reasons to expect little more than a dandelion or two. Well, I was wrong, and for all the amazing and breathtaking wildflower sights of the previous months, I found I could still be amazed. (Yes Virginia, there are still wildflowers.)

Larkspurs
I was paging through a field guide the other day and some dried leaves fell out. They were larkspur leaves, from species I came across last spring in California. Like so many wildflower species, there seems to be many, many more kinds of larkspur west of the Rockies than in the east. Actually, only three come to mind; two of them are spring bloomers.
