Local Plants Part II

It's time for the next installment of local flora. All photos of plants in this post (with the exception of the passionflower) were taken in Newport Beach and Costa Mesa and most of these grow in the Talbert Nature Preserve.

I'm pretty certain this little beauty is Southern Tarplant which is a native, rare endangered species.

I'm really enjoying this ongoing project and as I type I hear a hawk calling outside which is make me eager to get out there and take a walk. Speaking of birds, I might as well post a few pictures that I recently took at San Joaquin Wildlife Sanctuary in Irvine.

  4. Hey Anne,
    Love this so much; these posts remind me of Susun Weed's Herb Walks. They're great! We just learned a bit about Toyon Berries, edible when bright red. The trick is to get 'em quick, because the birds munch them up fast. Love the photo of the Heron - WOW!

    For the Waters,
    Vicky
