A very good year for California poppies

This is just off Cornell Road in the Santa Monica Mountains above Malibu. All of the burn areas have turned a vivid (and let's face it, unnatural) lime green in the recent rains. Apparently that's the result of a spike in available nitrogen caused by the heat and ash of the the November wildfire. However even as the non-native grasses are getting a boost, so are some of our most beloved wildflowers.
