March Wildflowers

We took a ride to find wildflowers and with the help of the ranger at Santa Margarita Lake we found some beautiful ones.

 

We drove from the lake to Hwy 58 and then turned north on Shell Creek Road. I saw a sign that said we were about 4 miles east (I think) of Creston.

We were not disappointed! As an extra bonus, it was a spectacular weather day too.

We could only identify the California poppies and Lupins but there must have been eight or ten different varieties.

I need to get a wildflower book and try to look up some of these. It was a wonderful day.
