Hello,

This morning I visited the field next to Conser St. in NE Corvallis. There are vernal pools there and I found some wildflowers but not a whole lot. In March, the place hosted massive choruses Pacific Chorus Frogs (https://groups.google.com/g/mid-valley-nature/c/Kd6KcoRsI50/m/NRD5h7zWBAAJ).

Coyote Thistle - Eryngium petiolatum
Marsh Speedwell - Veronica scutellata
Plantain Leaved Buttercup - Ranunculus alismifolius - fruits/seeds
Scouler's popcornflower - Plagiobothrys scouleri
Smooth Tare - Vicia tetrasperma (non-native)

The other day I was walking in the nearby Village Green Park in an unmowed area and found some Field Peppergrass (Lepidium campestre) which isn't native but I don't remember seeing it before.
