Kate Sessions Open Space

We often walk in Kate Sessions open space. We've seen it in all seasons. But still I don't know the names of most of these familiar flowers!

I'm covetous of a Jepson's guide.















Above and right, a Splendid Mariposa Lily.
I'm giddy about these, but the yellow desert ones are the best.
This guy is Calochortus splendens, its a tulip.








Mallow or Hollyhock
Sidalcea malviflorassp.
sparsiflora













Chalk Dudleyas,
Dudleya pulverulentas, above,
and one Lady's Fingers Dudleya edulis, right.

















barrel cacti,
gotta love em.
(but not tooo much).






purple sage,
Salvia leucophylla








Nutall's Snapdragon
Antirrhinum nuttallianum






I've heard this is a ranunculus. but it looks like a daisy to me... Its not in any of my books, and its all over the county. I asked about it at the CNPS, and this is what I learned. They are
Garland Chrysanthemums, tasty and invasive.
Leucanthemum coronarium, Chrysanthemum coronarium
