This photo gallery displays species found during two trips to some San Bernardino localities south of Big Bear that I'd explored before and some new ones I didn't know about it. On the first outing I met Tommy Stoughton, Christine Craig and Geneveve Fyvie, who introduced me to some fascinating new species like the Botrychium and the Castilleja tenuis, and I express my appreciation to them for their time and knowledge. Metcalf Meadow on Forest Rd 2N17 and Bluff Lake Meadow on 2N10 are lovely moist expanses of grass and wild- flowers, and Lemon Lily Springs is a small wet area just packed with beautiful species. The second outing was on my own to do some re-photography and to pin down some species and sub-species identifications. A few species shown here were in drier pine forest areas immediately adjacent to the meadows. An asterisk next to the common names indicates a non-native species, and as always, an upside-down V denotes a species that was new to me when I photograph-ed it on this field trip. The header photo is Metcalf Meadow, and the photo at the end of the gallery is of Bluff Lake.
