The balsamroot <I>(Balsamorhiza deltoidea)</I> is blooming well -- in fact, it seems a week or two ahead of schedule this year. However, there is no lupine <I>(Lupinus latifolius </I>var. <I>thompsonianii)</I> in bloom yet. My guess is that, as is often the case at this location, the lupine will be peaking as the balsamroot is fading.
<P>
Other flowers now blooming include: Upland Larkspur <I>(Delphinium nuttallianum)</I>, Fiddleneck <I>(Amsinckia sp.)</I>, Bare-stem Desert Parsley <I>(Lomatium nudicaule)</I>, Small-flowered Blue-eyed Mary <I>(Collinsia parviflora)</I>, Bi-colored Cluster Lily <I>(Triteleia grandiflora ssp. howellii)</I>, Manroot <I>(Marah oreganus)</I>, Pungent Desert Parsley <I>(Lomatium grayi)</I>, and Small-flowered Prairie Star <I>(Lithophragma parviflora)</I>.
