Again, my visits are getting more scarce as the Chaparral is drying up and blooms are lessening. My intention was to check up on the Stachys (Hedgenettle) that hadn't bloomed yet last I checked on it.
Starting From the Eastern Rios Canyon entrance, I walked down to where the trail meets the seasonal creek. I did find a couple of species blooming and a few birds. Two humming birds, on two separate occasions, where a foot or two from my face. I think they like the coconut oil I wear!
