Larkspur remains in bloom around Soda Lake.
Mariposa lilies are blooming in the foothills and hareleaf is beginning to show its delicate flowers in early morning. Flowers will continue to bloom throughout the remainder of spring and summer but there will be less variety and it will require more of a search to find them. Please keep in mind that many factors, including temperature and rainfall, determine which species bloom and their distribution in any given season. Every year is not spectacular and only a few flowers may prevail in any one season.
