Calochortus at Humboldt

My calendar was open today so I headed back to the Humboldt Peak area to collect a few plants. Once I turned off FS 24 and onto State Highway 562, the mariposa lily show began in force. In previous visits, there were patches here and there along the highway. But now mariposas are open along almost the whole length of the road. Not only that, Calochortus ambiguus has added itself to the show at the upper end of the road just west of Barpit Tank by the hundreds. It's quite a show!
