Boggs Mtn (CA) - very common is this area - very dramatic flowers

Mill Creek Road, Healdburg

ID by Jake Ruygt.

With Chamaecyparis lawsoniana on serpentine

@lilyboy Found a very dense patch. So many in
one small area.

Monoecious

beginning of the flowering season for this taxon.

2020 Glass Fire burned through this area, this lily seen one year ago in exactly same location in Alpine Creek

In a makeshift fenced off area shielded from deer eating the slippers.

Fairly well documented population of A. canescens x viscida hybrids.

I have long appreciated Mt. St. Helena’s outlier population of incense-cedar, visible right along Highway 29

Multiple individuals from this population. The majority were in flower, with a handful still in bud.

stillwater cove

Under Pinus ponderosa, Pinus lambertiana, and Notholithocarpus densiflorus.

Note the little Pacific tree frog in the lily’s leaves

The ones in this patch had more ovate leaves than all the other populations we saw in this area

several plants growing with dense stands of wingstem along the trail on a rich floodplain near the river.

17 plants, 4 in bloom

Recently burned area

leafy inflorescence bracts,

conveniently located, with pullouts on both sides of the highway for it.

At least, this is my guess. Yes, the pinnae are fairly deeply cut, but this is a large, robust plant so you would expect the pinnae to be more deeply divided than on a smaller plant.
