We stop for wildflowers! And to “send” today’s flowers to @Kleen and @Weather_Rock_Wx, with gratitude for their March 2 and March 5 donations—so helpful and appreciated! How to donate, plus FAQs: https://bikemonterey.org/about/financial-donations

Great photos! #1 and #2 are Warrior's Plume or Pedicularis densiflora. https://calscape.org/Pedicularis-densiflora-(Warrior's-Plume)

They aren't that common. We've been on a mission to locate patches of these out at Ft. Ord National Monument. Latest spotting was out along Watkin's Gate, next to some Douglas Iris.

I think #3 is woodmint.

@Weather_Rock_Wx @bikemonterey Yes, former common name was Indian warrior, now warrior’s plume.
@Kleen @Weather_Rock_Wx My dad always said, “You learn something new every day,” and I appreciate you botany savvy cyclists for this info. <3
