Rob Cozens was driving Mountain View Road when he came across these beautiful inland irises, Purdy's Iris.
Rob also found clouds of white lilac, Ceanothus incanus. It's also called Coast whitethorn. I'll share photos of that another time.
Thanks to Rob for allowing me to share his photo with you here.
Purdy's Iris, Iris purdyi, is found in Northern California coastal ranges. Emily Nelson found a beautiful blossom growing amidst poison oak on Mountain View Road.
These California natives are found from Sonoma county north to Trinity county. What a treat to see these beauties. Thanks to Emily for allowing me to share her photos with you here.
