The jewel flower may be rare, I didn’t key it out. Cardamine californicum is one of my favorite winter flowers, it’s more elegant than Silene lacinata 2:33 is a patch of Saltmarsh vegetation; broadleaf is Limonium californicum (sea lavender), the brown flowered ones are Triglochin concina, and the rest is Salicornia virginianica (pickleweed), which is especially tasty Picture of Metal cables on bluff provided by Aaron E Sims, Period image of celebration of 1912 Roosevelt HWY–now the Cabrillo Hwy or Hwy 1–from berkeley sunsites at calheritage, spelling and common names from the online Jepson Manual, just type in “UC Jepson” on Google.
