some of the flora on my hike:

UL Scorpionweed, several isolated patches on the western side of the hike.
UR Brittlebush starting to bloom in various parts of the hike. I am hoping we are going to get to see masses of it rather than little groups blooming here and there.
LL I think is a miniature Globe Mallow.
LR I saw a couple individual lily (Desert Hyacinth).
