More Wildflowers February 28, 2011

Despite snow and freezing temperatures, more local wildflowers are determined to bloom. Hopefully, the recent rain and the upcoming Wednesday's expected rain will only serve to encourage the oftentimes delicate appearing wildflowers to raise their heads and shine.

New ones include: sweet fennel, beach strawberry, Douglas Iris, silverweed to name a few.
