Spring 2023

Another spring like the last one, with late germinating rains (December), but good following rains. Primary production is high; the numbers and size of plants are high. Spring temperatures have been cool; some flowering times have been affected. Brittlebush is usually an early-flowering shrub, but in the preserve and surrounds the bloom is only just beginning. Second wet spring in a row means the spring ephemeral seed bank will likely be substantially restocked this season.
