The whole day was spent on Rock Creek Road. The pleasant surprise was the
flowers were comparable to years past. The best spots were the wet areas at the
higher elevations (above 8500 to the Rock Creek trailhead). Most of the usual
flowers were in bloom and in their usual numbers. Some of the most plentiful
flowers were Paintbursh, White Rein Orchids, Lupines, Kelly's Lillies,
Cinquefoils, and Yellow Monkeyflowers. To see some today's detailed report with
plant lists, locations and photos go to: http://naturalhistorywanderings.com/2012/07/13/eastern-sierra-wildflower-report-rock-creek-road-71312/
