Dateline 11 March 2022. It’s been some time since I documented the flowers from a hike. I dawdled over the flowers today to have a record of what’s appearing now after a dry fall and winter. Today’s walk covered a portion of a favorite trail, Milagrosa Canyon. This is just a selection of the plants that I could identify.
