Wildflower Watch: Red Hills

Posted in

The Red Hills are amazing right now with drifts of Cream Cups, Birds Eye Gilia, poppies and composites galore. The Lewisia are just starting to bloom. The Red Hills are an area of critical environmental concern, and a local chance to see flora that grow nowhere else, as they are one of central california's serpentine areas.
