Hi everyone - thanks for a terrific hike last week! Crystal and Josefin shared some pictures - here we are! Hopefully you remember the wildflowers we learned. 
This is Indian Warrior - Pedicularis densiflora. Learn more about it here: http://calscape.cnps.org/Pedicularis-densiflora-(Indian-Warrior)?srchcr=sc56273769ec551
This is Trillium Chloropetalum. Remember, three petals, three sepals, and three leaves! Learn more about it here: http://www.greatplantpicks.org/plantlists/view/1573
We also learned California Buttercup, Houndstongue, and Milkmaids! We smelled Madrone blossoms and saw more of the sneaky guises of poison oak. Thanks for a great hike!
Our last hike (sniff sniff!) will be at Monte Bello Open Space Preserve. This place is silly gorgeous. It goes through varied habitats, all of them lovely. Here is the location on Google maps: Monte Bello. Here is the preserve website: http://www.openspace.org/preserves/monte-bello. Carpool arrangements on your own (the road is Very Windy!), let's meet at the Preserve at 1 PM. Please let me know if you cannot make it.
Registration for Spring semester has started. I would love to hike with any and all of you, so I do hope you sign up! Or, if you can't make it, tell a friend! http://paadultschool.org/classes/peninsula-nature-hikes/
See you soon, don't hesitate to let me know if you have any questions.
