"Cool" trip to the chaparral

the mystery sage we saw near the end, which turned out to be pitcher sage (Lepechinia calycina)

















And our group photo (with the nice clear view of the ocean...):

Plant Website

I was digging around the internet trying to find some plants we saw today and came across this website. It has a pretty great search function and large pictures for almost all of the plants. I found the ones I was looking for without knowing much about them.
