Flower is about 1/4”

Found a couple of these in the flooded wash downstream from the Mountain fire. Best guess is Marah gilensis tubers. Narrow end down.

Confirmed by aroma - sorry I can't post the aroma here.

On Bursera

Possibly in wood that was being cut

Some massive, massive plants along the washes in this area. Aroma overpowering - which is a very peculiar smell reminiscent of an old sock soaked in honey.

Only a few individuals observed in rocks, along the trail.

A look at Aristolochia watsonii roots. Had to uproot, from being rootbound.
