周末去Santa Rosa
Plateau去走了走。感觉还不错。
我最喜欢那里Vernal Pool的trail。Vernal Pool就是雨水积的小水潭，一般到了夏天
就都蒸发了。三年前去是可以走到水边，看到里面有许多小蝌蚪。但去年那条小桥被冲
坏了，就不能走到水边。过了vernal pool后，会看到lupine，california poppy。不
是满山遍野那种，但也别有情趣。我非常喜欢路上的高高的绿草，和那风吹草浪的感觉。草浪中还远近点缀着挺拔的橡树。愿意多走的人，可以在多走1mile左右，下过一条比较陡的坡路就可以去看一个小土屋（adobe）。小土屋1点就关门了，所以我们没去。不过这条路没有什么树荫，有些朋友反映比较
晒。
我们去这条trail之前，去跟了visitor center 10点钟的tour。那条路各样生态环境多
一点。如果要跟免费的tour的话，最好先打电话预约。

What’s said about the latest flowers about the park on the wild flower
hotline:

“In neighboring Riverside County in the Santa Ana Mountains, visit another
very special habitat at the Santa Rosa Plateau Ecological Reserve. The main
trails —the vernal pool trail and trans preserve trail—offer up a number
of excellent flowers. There are a few remaining chocolate lilies (
Fritillaria biflora) on grassy slopes, and a huge number of Western
buttercup (Ranunculus occidentalis) and goldfields (Lasthenia californica).
Look for a little bulb plant called common muilla (Muilla maritima). On
first glance, it looks like another flowering onion of the Allium genus, but
closer investigation shows it is different enough NOT to fit in with the
onion cousins. Close but different, muilla is allium spelled backwards. This
is what passes as humor for taxonomists! Other colorful characters
including purple owl’s clover (Castilleja densiflora), blue-eyed grass (
Sisyrinchium bellum), bush lupine (Lupinus excubitus var. hallii), red maids
(Calandrinia ciliata), pink checkerbloom (Sidalcea malviflora ssp.
sparsifolia), purple sanicle (Sanicula bipinnatifida), ground pink (
Linanthus dianthiflorus) and blue dicks (Dichelostemma capitatum ssp.
capitatum) complete this amazing color palette.”
