Goldfields in Springtime
Down low on the road, in the center of the flower patch, it seems to go on forever. Common Goldfields (Lasthenia gracilis) prefer drier serpentine soil than California Goldfields (L. califirnica ssp. californica), so this is probably the former. And is this ordinary Owl's-clover (Castilleja densiflora ssp. densiflora)? Road F near Escobar Gate, Jasper Ridge Biological Preserve. 4*6/2024,9:32 am. iPhone photo.
