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. larkspurs • gregg m. pasterick • wildflowers of north america • botany • ecology

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.

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.
