As the weather here has warmed a bit more toward a more normal April, more species of wildflowers have begun to appear. Here are a few more species making their appearance, including one that I have not before noticed or identified; another member of the Saxifrage family (sure wish these were larger).
Oregon grape ~ Berberis aquifolium
Redstem Stork’s bill, Common Stork’s Bill ~ Erodium cicutarium
Pretty, but I have been unable to identify it 5/16
Field Chickweed ~ Cerastium arvense 5/16
Leafy Spurge ~ Euphorbia esula 5/17
This is a Eurasian introduction that has become a serious threat to rangeland. It is difficult to eradicate and is poisonous.
Star Solomon’s Seal ~ Maianthemum stellatum 5/17
Oregon Grape ~ Mahonia aquifolium 5/17
I couldn’t resist posting another photo of this. I liked the setting among the other plants in a typical setting and these are blossoming just everywhere right now.
