A 6-mile walk home from the "Y" (HWY50/SR89) and through Washoe Meadows State Park yesterday yielded a bunch of green-leaved plants. Hard to believe considering we're in the middle of November! Although I found the Oregon Grape in town, the other four specimens were all located in a boggy section of the state park.
Then, the following day (11/14/19), I hiked up Mount Tallac and just above Cathedral Lake I found Lace Lip Fern and Bridges Cliffbrake still growing.
Although I'm posting somewhat redundant observations, mostly I'm doing it as a record of how late in the season I'm still able to find living/lush specimens.
Found in a wet area of a meadow.
Richardson's Geranium (Geranium richardsonii)? These leaves don't seem quite as long and pointed as G. richardsonii, though.
No idea about this one,but it has mildly hairy leaves with serrated edges. Passing this on the way back to the car, I might have seen one of these specimens with a dead stem that resembled a variety of Rock Cress (due to long dangled seed pods).
