Bur oak, the largest acorns in my region

[chaparralprincess]

current favorite plant, mostly due to the glowing gold lower epidermis of the leaves. Chrysolepis sempervirens, bush chinquapin. it’s a relative to the oaks & grows spiky, acorn-like fruit. these pics are from the Angeles National Forest in LA and the General Sherman Grove in Sequoia.
