A harbinger of spring, the Fremont's Star Lily can be observed blooming along side of the trail throughout the Reserve. Knowing multiples of 3 will make this an easy wildflower to identify. 6 white petals with a yellow spot at its base, 6 stamens, 3 segmented style all help to give this beautiful wildflower its identity. Its long thick "grass-like' leaves growing from the base of the plant also help in this identification. Now with the coming of spring wildflower season, a reminder to observe and not pick any the plants within the Reserve. This way we can make sure that the flowers will produce seed that will sprout next year continuing their existence.
