Scenic 2

Another scenic  picture, taken at approximately 12:02. In the bottom of the picture there is dry Pine Goldenbush, a native Southern Californian shrub that is very tall. The weather at this time was slightly windy.

Whipple Yucca

This is a semi-dried out Whipple Yucca plant, which is native to Southern California. A very tall plant. This particular Yucca measured around 7 feet. It is a plant native to mainly chaparral and oak woodland plant communities.

Laurel Sumac

This is a Laurel Sumac plant which is also known as the "Taco Plant" due to its somewhat folded leaves that resemble a taco. The leaves and stems of this plant are very fragrant. It blooms from June to July.

Growing Whipple Yucca

This is a Whipple Yucca plant in the early stages of growth. In 9 years or less, this plant will shoot up a stalk that can grow up to a foot a day. It will most likely stop growing its stalk when it reaches 10 feet.

Mountain Scenery

This picture contains many plants. At this time, 11:45 AM, there was a slight breeze felt when sitting in the shade. There is Laurel Sumac in this picture and a hill in the back with  many bushes and trees on it.
