Despite the spotty annual flower show this year the perennials, especially at higher elevations (6,000 ft. and above) are starting to pop. Bitterbrush with it’s yellow flowers are bursting along the Hwy. 395 corridor from Bishop north and hillsides often are graced with the familiar mule’s years, and arrow-leaf balsam root. The silver lupine is following and tufts of low-growing perennial cushion plants are making their appearance in the Bodie Hills. Periodic wildflower updates will be made available and please see our Wildflower Hotspot PDF attachments to find out some key places to catch the blooms.

I spent Saturday 6/27 in the Henness Pass/Stampede Reservoir area. Parked the car, wandered around a meadow, had XM 5 on full blast. The creek was dry but there was quite a display of desktop wallpaper there.

Took these photos with a camera that has no viewfinder and the LCD screen is broken. Pretty good guesses this time.
