My name is Annabelle and I am a Southern California college student. I am an English major. I also love plants. This year (2016), I decided I wanted to learn more about them, so I bought Botany in a Day by Thomas J. Elpel and started learning families. I keep a look out for flowers every time I hike, usually in the Santa Monica Mountain Range. This is my catalog of plants that I have identified (hopefully correctly) and photographed.

Miner's Lettuce (Claytonia pefoliata)
Santa Monica Mountain Range
Agoura Hills, off of Las Virgenes Rd South of Mulhollond Hwy
either Claytonia perfoliata ssp. mexicana or Claytonia perfoliata ssp. perfoliata
sample wilted minutes after collecting
area of growth seemed more moist than I usually come across in the SMMR
family: Montiaceae (formerly Portulaceae)
