I was not planning on visiting Carrizo this week, but I was up in Paso Robles on a hunt for old tin roofing for a new project and the plains drew me in. Waking up this morning to this amazing rainbow was a bonus!

The "single stem plant" is Dichelostemma capitatum (common name: Blue Dicks). It is abundant on the alkali ground in the Carrizo. Occasionally mixed with wild onion -- Allium sp. which vegetatively is similar while being slightly smaller, with less pronounced hooked teeth on back of leaf keel, and more twisted.

The holes are all rodent burrows. Seems the property is teeming with all kinds of wildlife. More rodents mean more animals that prey on these. I think word is getting around that we have a pond and the local wildlife has been partying there every night. Leave a Reply. |
