Native Miner's Lettuce (Claytonia perfoliata), on the Semi Tropic Spiritualists' Tract was particularly tough to find, because the grass had already overwhelmed it. There is a patch of Miner's Lettuce on the shady slope just above the lower plateau. Miner's Lettuce is also found on the Red Car Property near the Fletcher Viaduct Footings.
This month, we're taking a close-up view of the natural beauty of our neighborhood. All Semi Tropic Spiritualists' Tract photographs published on the Corralitas Red Car Property Blog in March 2009, are of plants growing on the 3 large lots destined for destruction, if a developer gains final approval of his proposed subdivision.Neighbors will be back in front of City Council's PLUM Committee on March 24, 2009.
