I went to the Regional Parks Botanic Garden (Berkeley, CA) yesterday as
I heard there were Trillium, and Fritillaries, in bloom. Flowers in
bloom included two species of Fritillary, including the rare Adobe Lily,
normally seen at Bear Valley, a Fawn Lily, Trillium, Shooting Stars,
Star Zigadene, Wall Flower, California Poppy, Pipevine, a few species of
Ribes, Ceanothus, Canyon Live-forever, Manzanitas and the rare all
yellow Meadowfoam seen at Pt. Reyes. It was especially a treat to
photograph an Adobe Lily up close as they were in bloom at the edge of
raised bed as opposed to behind a fence a Bear Valley. If the dry
weather continues, some of this year's best wildflower viewing may be in
the botanic gardens. To see photos go to:
