Calico Monkeyflower (Diplacus pictus)Observer
possiblybuddhaDescription
Spent 9 hours searching for D pictus today. Hit several CalFlora points in Kern River Valley and searched numerous textbook habitat sites - nothing. These were the only plants I could find at the Blue Mountain Rd population. Found them literally as the sun was setting. Bad year for D pictus or just bad luck?
