Stock Photo: A Little Explanation About Canyon Sunflower
ID 262487951 © Muhamadmiftahyusuf | Megapixl.com
Canyon Sunflower is a pioneer species after fire. In the first year after a fire, annuals may appear in large numbers. Canyon Sunflower will begin to dominate the slopes in its second to fourth year until the slow growing shrubs start to take over. You can observe this in Upper Sycamore Canyon after the 2013 Spring Fire and in many places where the Woolsey Fire burned. Where once there was dense chaparral, one can observe the Sunflower Gorge filling its cracks. Eventually, another chaparral plant will take its place but for now – enjoy the beautiful yellow flowers
