Figueroa Mountain Wildflower Report: April 6, 2011

Figueroa Mountain was less impressive than I expected. Although here are many species blooming, the biggest patches are several of poppies and one small one of lupine in a recently burned area. For now at least, Figueroa Mountain is more of a flower portrait than a flower landscape destination. It’s probably worth visiting if you’re in the area, but with gas currently over $4.00 it may not be as attractive to visit if a long drive is required.
