Red Car Property: Miner's Lettuce

Photo: Diane Edwardson, February 4, 2010. Miner's Lettuce (the round leaves) sprouting near Adelbert at the northern end of the Red Car Property.

Look for Miner's Lettuce(Claytonia perfoliata), a native plant, before the grass gets too tall among the viaduct footings and on the shady slope adjacent to Adelbert. The largest variety of native wildflowers grows on the northern end of the Red Car Property.
