editDescriptionApril Takeover Top 15- Red Mountain Area, South Fork Eel River Wilderness, California (17030930370).jpg |
In the Red Mountain Area of the South Fork Eel River Wilderness a hardy cast of botanical characters have become masters of survival - adapted to both wildfire and life on nutrient poor, weathered and red, serpentine soils. Following fire, native bulbs awake, recover and thrive following smoke cues, a flush of fertility and an increase to available light. Beargrass is a white flowering lily and a culturally important native plant whose leaves are used in Native American basketry. The photo, taken in 2010, shows beargrass in a dazzling response following the 2008 Red Mountain fire. Four years following the Red Mountain fire, wavy leaf paintbrush brilliantly contrasts with the fire brands of white leaf manazanita stems.
