Good spring rains will bring out a profusion of wildflowers in southern California, including this spectacular species: bush mimulus (monkeyflower; Mimulus cardinalis). Much favored by hummingbirds, they put out a profusion of red or orange flowers. These were growing in some granite outcroppings at the Motte Rimrock Reserve near Riverside; some images show Mt. San Gorgonio (highest peak in southern California) or Mt. San Jacinto (second highest) in the distance. |
