Nolina abounds


One of the effects of the gyrochopping has been to make Nolina brittonia more visible in the landscape. It is one of the tallest plants that is blooming at the moment and is growing in relatively dense stands.


Several recent visitors have remarked on this panorama, which is unusual on most scrub sites because the plants are visible only at short range.


This also shows how locally common a rare plant can be in the right habitat.
