Fire Followers - Yosemite Nature Notes - Episode 31

Fire-following flowers are those that germinate and bloom after a fire, covering the landscape in a beautiful but brief wildflower display that may not return until the next fire.

Flew my mom out to California for her 70th birthday. Lake Tahoe, California state railroad museum, Muir woods, Alcatraz island were all explored. But Yosemite national park was just unreal, especially in the winter....it's a must see.

The last flower shown was stunning...... our planet may be heaven, but Yosemite is the front gate. :)

Can anybody tell me what the flowers at 0:40 are ? Thanks.

Note that it is the SEVERE fire that allows for the presence not only of special plants, but of black-backed woodpeckers and a host of other species. It's a crime that the public supported salvage logging just outside the park in the Rim Fire, when there were plenty of WUI green-tree forests that could be the focus of a low-key, sustainable harvest program!
