Globe Gilia Gilia capitata The native plants in Orange County are subspecies abrotanifolia (Roberts) but wildflower seed mixes often contain some other subspecies that are seen in our park gardens. This is a locally common annual on dry slopes in sage scrub and chaparral at low elevations in foothills and Santa Ana Mountains, especially following fire. Flowers are very similar to those of Gilia angelensis but can occur in a dense cluster of up to 50-100 per head. The corolla color ranges from white to blue-violet. Plants are somewhat taller than G. angelensis, growing to 8-32 in. high. Polemoniaceae Back to Polemoniaceae of Orange County, California |
