As June turns into July at Bull Point on Point Reyes, what looks to most like just another cow pasture turns into Rare Plant Central!! There’s the fragrant and endemic Horkelia marinensis, which on a warm day will scent the air like honey perfume. There’s a rare linanthus (Leptosiphon grandiflorus) as far as the eye can see as well as the lovely Leptosiphon parviflorus "var. rosaceus”.And then there’s rare orchids and lilies!
Bring: Dress in layers including a warm jacket. Water and a snack are recommended.
