Wildflower Hike with friends

Diane, Steve, Theo, and Tricia come visit and we take some hikes identifying all the wildflowers with Steve.  Thank you Steve, for keying all these out.


Subsequently, my neighbor George ( http://onthesummit.net/ )reviewed our identifications and suggested some corrections.  George uses the Calflora website for flower id http://www.calflora.org/ . It is really a great site when you have a name. George also uses the site wildflowers by color http://www.adampaul.com/wildflowers/colors.shtml which is limited but good when color is all you have.
