  1. I think the western redcedars (Thuja plicata) are competing with banyans for trunk structures

    The tree roots lift the sidewalk blocks, hence the blue warning stripe.

  2. A couple of native flowers from the dog walk: Cooley's hedge nettle (Stachys cooleyae) and self-heal (Prunella vulgaris var lanceolata), both in the mint family (Lamiaceae)

  3. Fireweed or rosebay willowherb (Chamaenerion angustifolium) growing in summer grasses. These are shorter plants. They get to be 6 ft tall (approx 2 m)

  4. A little botanizing with rose hips. 1. Baldhip rose hip, you can see why! 2. Peafruit rose hips, also small and closely clustered. 3. Nootka rose hips, about 3 times the size of peafruit rose. 4. Peafruit roses are still blooming!

  5. Another photo from early this morning, walking the Dahl Playfield Park loop: the east side is mostly Himalayan blackberry bushes, which are not allowed anywhere else. People come in late summer to gather berries.

  6. Ookow flowers (Dichelostemma congestum) atop a long, snaky bare stem. The leaves look like strappy grass, and are hard to spot amid the grass!

    I learned that the leaves wilt before the flowers open, so you probably couldn't see them anyhow.

  7. Common camas (Camassia quamash) in two shades. They can range from pale blue to deep purple blue. They spread by seed and bulb division. They were a main food source for coastal tribes.
