Week 2 - Walking with the Natives

(click to enlarge)


Time in: 9:15am
Time out: 12 noon

Today I went on my first native species plant walk in Eaton Canyon. We were lead by a very knowledgeable, friendly and determined guide, Eva Morgan. This walk is part of the California Native Plant Society, San Gabriel Mountains chapter in which I am currently a member.

Here are just a few species I learned about:


Opuntia spp. (Cacti)




Buckwheat




Salvia apiana (White Sage)




Toxicodendron Diversilobum (Poison Oak)




Scale broom (Lepidospartum squamatum)
