The Elegant Brodiaea is a wild flower native to California and Oregon. It blooms late as the grass turns brown in northern California. It is edible and native americans ate the bulbs and corms.



I found these beauties on a walk along Pleasanton Ridge.

This is another example of the California Oak Savanna. Here's a lovely oak from today's walk.

Finally we found this Northern Pacific Rattlesnake along the trail.

This is my third post on local plants in my area. I am following advice from @mountainjewel to get to know the ecosystem around you. And having fun doing it!
