A Century of Bromes and the Fading of California Wildflowers
A Century of Bromes and the Fading of California Wildflowers
The pinnacle for southern California wildflower lovers at the turn of the twentieth century was the famous poppy field of San Pasqual, the mesa that now hosts the suburbs of Pasadena and Altadena. The shrinking flower fields not only succumbed to land clearing, but also to the rapid expansion of new invasive European grasses beginning in the 1890. The most virulent of the new invaders were red brome and ripgut brome.
