The late spring rains are helping transform this spring into another magical wildflower year here in the Sierra Foothills. Wards Ferry Canyon was ablaze with poppies at the end of March and I was very excited to find Pipevine blooming in Murder’s Gulch. It was growing in large masses up the Redbuds and oak trees. To find it, follow the Pipevine swallowtail. Having seen it, I am now even more inspired to actually grow in it in our garden.
I was also inspired to start a wildflower blog to remind everyone of the displays of natural beauty all around us. Look for these blogs on our Wildflower Watch..
