Wow, beautiful, Snowie! Can you name some of the flowers? My memory of California flower is fading fast, and my Munz isn't handy

Re: My new backyard in Santa Barbara
thanks! B2, the flowers are named on the website (more flowers there too). The ones I posted here are Fire Poppy (bottom orange), Phacelia grandiflora (purple), and not sure what the top orange succulent is. Lots of flowers out here in Santa Barbara!

Re: My new backyard in Santa Barbara
Welcome to Santa Barbara Snowy, You'll find some great year-round hiking here and good backpacking too. Have you been in the backcountry yet? Check out the Manzana River area in the San Rafael Wilderness. Huuricane Deck, Mission Pine basin, I could go on and on...

I love pictures. Pretty flowers! Does that creek dry up and if so when?

That creek typically runs year round through there but gets down to trickle. This year was a good rain so it should be good for the summer

B2, that first succulent flower is called "Live-Forever". :-)
Brian, haven't been to the backcountry yet, but exploring the frontcountry. I found a group (or they found me) that goes out Wed after work, so I'll be joining them soon. I added more SB hikes to the webpage.

Re: My new backyard in Santa Barbara
Sedum laxum, mebbe? It's funny: I kid myself that the reason I have such a hard time with the mid-Atlantic and New England flora is that I learned all my plants when I lived in California, but when push comes to shove I don't remember much about the California flora, either!Snow Nymph wrote:B2, that first succulent flower is called "Live-Forever". :-)

I think it's a Dudleya species, but it's hard to say which one without a good view of the basal leaves.BSquared wrote:Sedum laxum, mebbe?
