INLAND SCRUB

CREOSOTE BUSH DESERT WASH WITH BOTANIST Southern California Native Plants for School Gardens (Photos by Betsey Landis) SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA NATIVE PLANTS FOR SCHOOL & URBAN GARDENS by Betsey Landis

The plant in the top photo with the graceful stalks of blue flowers is woolly blue curls. The plant in the foreground with the spiky leaves is probably a nolina. This inland scrub is on sandstone in the Santa Ana Mountains above Coal Canyon.

The bottom photo is a desert wash in Red Rock Canyon State Park on the eastern side of the Sierras. There are creosote bushes and many other low-growing shrubs. The botanist is looking for the small flowering plants hiding in the shade or in the water drainages in the wash.

MONTANE PINE WOODLAND

GRASSLAND Southern California Native Plants for School Gardens (Photos by Betsey Landis) SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA NATIVE PLANTS FOR SCHOOL & URBAN GARDENS by Betsey Landis

The top photo is a pine woodland above Lake Tahoe. The pines are probably Jeffrey pines which are common in the Sierra Nevada.

The bottom photo is a large meadow in Rocky Oaks, a park in the Santa Monica Mountains. The blue flowers in the background are a small iris called blue-eyed grass. The bright rosy clover in the foreground is called owl’s clover. This is part of a grassland dominated by native bunchgrasses.
