Figueroa Mountain Wildflower Update April 18, 2019

The poppies are no longer visible on Grass Mountain with the exception of a few small patches of orange that can still be spotted on the southwest portion, along with some purple patches of lupine. For the most part, Grass Mountain is primarily covered in, as its name implies, grass. However, there are still so many gorgeous varieties of wildflowers throughout the mountain to see. In fact, currently, the mid-season wildflowers are in bloom and so many more are yet to come. If you are interested in seeing other incredible varieties of wildflowers throughout the mountain read the April 18 Wildflower Update.
