Spring arrived in our foothills, and a walk in Poway’s Blue Sky Ecological Reserve provided a good example. Below: Chaparral yucca (Hesperoyucca whipplei) and Chinese houses (Collinsia heterophylla).

Highlights for us were two uncommon Clarkias. Below: canyon clarkia (Clarkia epilobioides) and a lovely local endemic, delicate clarkia (Clarkia delicata).
