Open Space field study

I went to Montana de Oro state park in Los Osos.
I hiked hazards peak and saw a lot of wild flowers in bloom! I would see one all by itself and get super excited and figure out what it was. Then I would walk another 20 feet and see 10 more of the same flowers.
I noticed that there were many more flowering plants in the valley slopes than the hillside directly facing the ocean. Maybe too windy and exposed on those hillsides.
It was cool to learn the names of plants that I see all the time hiking or biking around the area.
Also tons of poison oak!!
