San Francisco Wallflower, March 6, 2023 |
March 7 |
March 8 |
I was so glad to see my first-of-the-season local San Francisco Wallflower (Erysimum franciscanum) on March 6, and when I checked it out again the next morning it looked sad and droopy, as if weighted down with rain. Unfortunately, a closer look revealed an even sadder situation, a nearby gopher hole. When I checked again this morning there was no longer any sign of the wallflower.
Wallflower, Bush Lupine & Bracken at Grandview Park (3/24/2020) |
[UPDATE]
It wasn't there yesterday, so here is the first bloom for Grandview Park, caught on March 9, 2023. The first handful of lupine blossoms has also come out.
