Marin Chapter California Native Plant Society
Calochortus tiburonensis
The Tiburon Mariposa Lily can be found
blooming in late May through mid-June camouflaged among serpentine rocks and grasses on
Ring Mountain on the Tiburon Peninsula in Marin County, California.
It is sometimes easier to spot the leaf than the blossom.
Look for the single long, thin, shiny, and pointed leaves of green turning to bronze. As you may be able
to see in the lower left photograph below, the sides of the leaves are rolled under and the
underside surface of the leaf is a dull green.
