Piper's Desert Parsley
Lomatium piperi
aka Salt and Pepper
These seem more prolific in the washes on our property.
This one started blooming the last week of February.
The soil is on a 3% grade, is alkaline and, after winter melt, arid.
The Lomatiums first appear while the ground is still saturated and go to seed just as it finally dries out completely.
I noticed the seeds setting the middle of March

By the end of June, I could not find these any more.
