Native bulbs and chaparral are both blooming
The grunion are running, but no touching until June
The Mariposa Lily (Calochortus aureus) is a bulb-forming perennial native to the southwestern United States.
Wild Hyacinths and Mariposa Lilies have popped out on San Diego’s hillsides. Both flowers arise from underground bulbs, and were considered delicacies by the California Indians.

Chamise and Buckwheat, two of the most common native flowering plants in San Diego County’s sage-scrub and chaparral plant communities, are in flower this month through June. Chamise, also known as greasewood, readily sprouts from root crowns after a fire. Much of the area between the Laguna Mountains and El Cajon, swept by the mammoth Laguna Fire of 1970, is now smothered by chamise four to eight feet high and buckwheat two to three feet high. The stems of both chamise and buckwheat are tipped by clusters of small white or cream-colored flowers, fading to russet brown by July. Near the coast, look for flat-top buckwheat, common on south-facing slopes. Here, it shares space with other low-growing sage-scrub plants like black sage and California sagebrush.
Full Flower Moon over San Diego by Evgeny Yorobe
May’s first full moon happened last night. The Moon rose in the southeast about a half hour after sunset. May’s moon names traditionally speak to the arrival of spring. The native Algonquin peoples call it “The Flower Moon.” The Cree names are “Budding Moon” and “Leaf Budding Moon.” The Dakota and Lakota tribes called it the “Planting Moon,” as it marked the time when seasonal crops were to be planted.
Grunion Runs are predicted to occur during the late evening hours (generally after 10 pm and before 1am), following the nocturnal high tide, May 12 through 15. The small, silvery fish tend to spawn on wide, gently sloping beaches such as Silver Strand, Mission Beach, Pacific Beach, La Jolla Shores, and Del Mar. During the months of April and May, grunion are protected and may not be taken by fishers through any means. Open season for grunion starts in June, and from then until the end of summer the fish can be collected in reasonable numbers using the hands only (fishing license needed for persons 16 years of age and older).
