Early Season Wildflowers at the ENC!

Wildflower season has started here at the ENC. While we do not have a large display of annual wildflowers, our shrubs and trees are putting on quite a show - especially the Ceanothus!

Island snapdragon glows in the late afternoon sunset and columbine flowers nod in the cool late Winter breeze.

Manzanita flowers reward those patient enough to seek them out, and the western redbud blooms entice fuzzy native bees with their sweet scent and tasty nectar - in exchange for a little pollination action, of course!

Join us for a Wildflower Walk on 4-10 at 1PM. RSVP to 949-645-8489 or lori(at)encenter.org
