Balsamroot season is one of my favorites moments in the Shrub-Steppe landscape. The first declaration of spring and return of color to the foothills after a long dark winter. They don't stay long, so they demand attention. Depending on the year, maybe only a few weeks is all we get. I find myself walking the trails around town several times a week to not miss a moment. Last night, I went to a trail I haven't been to in a few days and was shocked to see so many blooms. I love this teenage awkward phase of blooms - slowly pushing towards full bloom, but not quiet. They each have their own personality.
