       I suspect these two mosses are both Grimmia species.  The darker one may be Grimmia unicolor.#nature #plants #mosstodon #SouthernCalifornia #MyPhoto

       @clive Yeah, it's an extremely intriguing idea--that I have absolutely no desire to try out.

       [Buck's] jewelflower (Caulanthus heterophyllus [pseudosimulans]), Lakeview Mountains, about an hour ago.  These are tiny flowers, about 1 cm long.  The subspecies is my tentative ID, hence the square brackets.  This plant is a member of the mustard family.#nature #NaturePhotography #plants #NativePlants #flowers #wildflowers #FlowersOfMastodon #SouthernCalifornia #MyPhoto

       @grammargirl Hint is blatantly trying to get kids addicted to water by adding these "subtle" flavors...

       California asterella (Asterella californica), a kind of liverwort. I've posted pics of these before, but this is the first time I've ever seen the receptacles (the pods that enclose the sporangia).#nature #NaturePhotography #plants #NativePlants #Mosstodon  #SouthernCalifornia #MyPhoto

       Leafy fleabane (Erigeron foliosus foliosus - daisy family), Lakeview Mountains, yesterday. People used to make fleabane sachets and incense to repel insects. Fleabane has also been used medicinally, as an astringent and diuretic, and as a source of caffeine.#nature #NaturePhotography #plants #NativePlants #Flowers #Florespondence #Wildflowers #SouthernCalifornia

       These tarantula hawks (I think this is Hemipepsis ustulata) are attracted to our milkweed. About 3 cm long.#nature #NaturePhotography #bugs #insects #Hymenoptera  #bugstodon #SouthernCalifornia

       These easily shatter if you brush against them, and the seeds stick to your skin and clothing.
