About a dozen plants now finally up in this triangle. Depends on mowing schedule how many you see. They usually stick around through November.

An extension to my first observation of birds, this could be a home of the birds that are in vicinity. Despite the conditions they find a way to live among us.

In the central Cross Country Course area, a few Deinandra corymbosa plants trying to grow through the weeds. Used to be a lot more, but huge areas got mowed for course use I guess. Still, the course has been used for a long time and there used to be large patches of Deinandra. So much Dittrichia, oh my.
There are often many plants in this area, depending on when mowing is done. Just one plant right now. There are several areas in the Crystal Springs Cross-country track area where Deinandra corymbosa can be found too.
Got it @alex_wentworth! Finally. Not that it’s not obvious or anything. Check out that lower trunk!
Periodic check-in. I am astounded and delighted that CalTrans or Mid Pen or somebody did roadside clearing and got rid of most of the French Broom that was covering it!
