Coltsfoot

Coltsfoot is another popular plant that grows in the redwood forest. It seems to like thimbleberries, as I saw lots of coltsfoot plants under thimbleberry bushes. The leaves even look a little similar but they are different enough to tell that they are two different plants.

 Coltsfoot

Coltsfoot has very big leaves, deeply lobed. The flowers are small and white and form a head with multiple flowers. It belongs to aster family (Asteraceae).
