Catching up with communications in the Botany Group during July. This is from an email from Jocie to the group on July 7.
Here are some notes from Helen R. about some interesting plants at Kin Beach:
These two plants, photographed by Terry Thormin, are blooming at Kin Beach.
The harvest brodiaea, Brodiaea coronaria, is mostly in the tall grass between the playground and the huge burn pile which is covered with a tarp.
The prolific petrorhagia, Petrorhagia prolifera, was a great surprise, as it used to be in the park many years ago in the 1990s, but has not been seen again until now. It is a member of the pink family, Caprophyllaceae. It’s about 10’’ high, very slim, and is to the left of the sidewalk going down to the beach, and towards the heart sculpture. There are lots of plants.
