Local ground fern.

Licorice germs underneath the bridge at Alton Baker

Looks like Lilium pardalinum but way out of range? Or can Columbia lily look this red?

Large colony of flowers, growing near Avalanche Lily on moist hillside

Found growing in a bed of Acer macrophyllum leaves up Arroyo Aguague. Larger individuals can be found growing near seeps where Woodwardia fimbriata was also found.

Sori with sporangiasters.

They were all going off today

I spoke with the owner of this truck, he was very proud of his epivehicular fern colony. Apparently at one time it had been larger but someone stole a portion of the plant.

Very abundant on NW facing hillside with intermixed mahonia and thick Quercus gambelii leaf litter. Soil is filled with small rocks which are mostly limestone or dolomite.

Coast Fawn Lily - Erythronium revolutum

Found among curly lilies

The stigma looks like purpurascens? Very far south from those though. Possibly especially small due to coldish weather. 100 ft from melting piles of snow

Quercus berberidifolia x garryana

Unusual population, with most, but not all plants having purple anthers.
