#PapaverCalifornicum / #FirePoppy This one wasn’t in a post-fire area, it just looks like some dormant seeds slid down a hill into some decent sunlight. Some #firefollowers don’t need smoke or heat but instead are reacting to being exposed to enough light to germinate. #californianativeplants #papaver #fireecology #wildfirestowildflowers (at Lawson Valley) https://www.instagram.com/p/CreJsM-vcvj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
#PhaceliaBrachyloba / #ShortlobePhacelia, because I just realized I had some decent pictures that I hadn’t posted yet. 1-5 are from 2021 & 6-10 are from this spring. These aren’t from the same locations so it’s not an entirely accurate comparison but you can see that I found a much larger field the second year after the #ValleyFire2020 than the first. I remember the first time I saw one I was really surprised at how different they looked from any #phacelia I had ever seen before. They seem to be #firefollowers and I had never gone to see wildflowers after a fire before. #californianativeplants #wildfirestowildflowers #AlpineCA #JamulCA #californiawildflowers #wildflowersofcalifornia #subbloom2022 #subbloom2021 (at Cleveland National Forest) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cgxsct8uTPL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
#PackeraGanderi / #GandersRagwort. It looks like an ordinary little daisy but it’s actually a fairly rare #CaliforniaEndemic with a limited range and restricted to gabbroic soils. There are said to be only about 4000 plants in existence, but they’re #firefollowers so I’m hoping that these ones will start to reproduce. . I had actually shrugged these off thinking they might be some other common daisy or sunflower that looks similar. When I finally went and got a closer look at it and identified it online, I realized that I was actually seeing a species unique to my area, found nowhere else in the world. Moral of the story: look around you! Take time to learn about your local wildlife, even the “boring” stuff. Respect it. You never know what you might find! #packera #californianativeplants #californianativewildflowers #asteraceae #rareplants #californiaendemicplants (at Alpine, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/COn70rrjjjm/?igshid=1u9mmn2334ipy
