If for some reason I dont get on the trip, would you mind giving me directions from Santa Barbara - do I go up San Marcos pass Rte 154? if that guess is correct, then what? Ann Hi Lynn,

I hope to go to Figueroa Mountain this weekend, as well depending on the weather. I love that area in all seasons. Thanks, Lynn. Hi Ann, I have signed up for that class.

I live in the midwest - Yellow Springs, Ohio and will be coming out to Santa Barbara around April 6 for a few days to visit my son. I am always looking to learn regional wildflowers and shrubs and trees. I see that SB Bot Garden is offering a field trip to Figuero Mt -this is how I got the idea to try to figure out where it was and found your site. I will enjoy studying the flower photos and names on your site . This will be my 7th or so trip to CA. I worked at Yerba Buena native plant nursery (above Palo Alto) about 12 years ago, so I have a few CA basics down. I'm an artist and gardener - totally into drawing plants and landscapes. Thanks for your informative site. Dear Nature Shutterbug,

I believe the Santa Monica Mountains are also wonderful - I often refer to the wildflower book by Milt McAuley, because many of the plants are the same as here.

I live in the heart of ugly urban Los Angles but I get out as often as I can. We've at least had some rain this year. Big Ceanothus are currently blooming in the Santa Monica Mnt. I also stubled on some Pricly Flox while hiking in La Jolla Canyon last weekend. -Nate You’re lucky to live so close to Figeuroa Mnt.

I really enjoy your seeing your photos. Right now I'm in the middle of a nature walik through snow and fog on my own blog... lots of monochromatic scenes that come with winter. (I"m STARVING for color!) Mon@arch is a bit to the west of me, I think, but we often travel to the Finger Lakes region and have made it out as far as Niagara Falls, so we've probably passed through that region.

Hi Sandpiper, I noticed your link to my site in the Wordpress Dashboard. Glad you enjoyed the flowers, and hope those in your area start soon. Maybe you are in the same neighborhood as mon@rch. I think it's going to be a good year, Callie. Don't know about the Ho-hum, Mark. Thanks everyone. Hi Sandpiper, I noticed your link to my site in the Wordpress Dashboard.
