Vernal Pool, Recreated
at the UC Botanical Garden. Patches of wildflowers like this appeared in the wild spring in California's great valley before water was severely managed by man for agriculture, as it is today. See the nearby descriptive label, pictured here. Click image twice for size improvement.
This spring/vernal pool is recreated at the botanical garden as a teaching tool for understanding a traditional springtime behavior in nature. Looking especially lovely this year!
