I wanted to let you know of some flowers I spotted on March 23, 2018 during a hike at Will Rogers State Historic Park. I was on the Inspiration Point Loop Trail and spotted California brittlebrush. This is a California State Park and it is also the eastern terminus of the Backbone Trail, which crosses the Santa Monica Mountains.
From the parking lot just beyond the park gate (bring money for parking), the trail heads up the mountain to the left of the tennis courts west of the ranch house and ranger office. I noticed a very small cluster of the California brittlebrush on an intersection of the trail. At this point, there is the fire road to the left and a narrower trail that leads up on the right. The trail itself was fairly muddy in some areas on this day (day after heavy rain), but it is otherwise easily accessible. — Ana Cholo

When it is just too hot to hike in the canyons it is good to remember that there are lots of interesting plants growing by the beach, at least some beaches. Malibu Lagoon was recently restored and has a lot of California native plants that you don't see in the hills and canyons. The California fuchsia is coming into bloom and was well attended by hummingbirds. There is alkali heath, bladder pod, wand buckwheat and wild heliotrope as well as other more familiar flowers. There are also a lot of interesting water birds to watch.
