Photo: Diane Edwardson, February 28, 2015. Native Blue Fiesta Flowers (Pholistoma auritum) just started blooming last weekend on the Red Car Property. (Click on photos to enlarge.)
The Blue Fiesta Flowers were barely coming back to the Red Car Property when we hit 3 years of mega drought. They seem to prefer shady damp slopes (like the Semi Tropic Spiritualists' Tract prior to the controversial 16-lot subdivision).
