Not much happening in the way of flowers here in January, but I saw lots of plants starting to wake up. Still a few hold over Camphor Weed blooming and I saw some early blooming Pepper Grass. One interesting little plant I saw stating to grow is Salicornia bigelovii.

Here's some photos of more mature plants I took a couple of years ago.

This photo reminds me of an aerial view of a forest. These are still young plants.
