The area east of 120 from 12.4 to 16.3 miles east of 395 still has large displays of the Foul Odor Monkey Flower (Mimulus nanus var. mephiticus) on both sides of Sagehen Pass. It is the deep pink small annual monkeyflower that I mentioned a week ago. There are also still some Mono Lake Lupine (Lupinus duranii) and pink clouds of the miniscule Spurry Buckwheat (Eriogonoum spergulinum var. reddingianum). To see a few photos go to: http://naturalhistorywanderings.com/2011/08/07/owens-valley-and-mono-basin-wildflowers-52311/
