Natural Area: Shell Creek Road, Santa Margarita

I took Highway 58 out from Santa Margarita to try and see some of the wild flowers. There was still some wildflowers but it definitely was not as crazy super bloom as last spring.
The plants I observed were found on a short path off of Shell creek road. We parked just past this huge blue oak on the and the walked west through the meadow to the beginnings of some woodlands. there were oaks and pines and other shrubs. All my observations were in a small valley/ glade partially covered by shade. There was a small dried up creek on one side of the clearing. Small hills rose up on either side.
