Karen Wilkinson found "tens of thousands of Calochortus in bloom right now, one of my all-time favorite.” Their common names are Pussy Ears (because they are so soft to the touch) and Tolmie Star-tulip. Karen found them at Salt Point State Park.

Perry Hoffman found Sun Cups. His photo made me smile.

And Julia Larke found Calypso Orchids still in bloom. The ones on Rick's and my land have bloomed and are done.

These little orchids are such a treat to find in the forest!

Thanks to Karen, Perry and Julia for allowing me to share their photos with you here.

Yesterday, Monday, was quite hot - our first hot day of the year. 85 degrees at our place. Today it's back to our normal spring coolness, and the fog rolled in to cool things off further.
