Big, big trigger:
Beth was still playing with some plants in the seepage area, so Phill took me a few hundred meters along the
South Coast Highway to show me more things.
Ah yes, this titan is Stylidium schoenoides, which produces the largest
flowers in the genus: about 5 cm long (2 inches) long.
This guy has the common name of cow-kicks. I've never been kicked by a cow, but I
have been kicked by a horse, so I respect this plant.
It was time to regroup for the next site. By the way, I have to apologize to Phill about how I treated the interior of his car.
The far back looked like a low-rent tenement the whole day because I had all our socks
(well, really just mine) spread out in a vain attempt to dry them. It smelled kind of bad back there.
