Blue Blossom Ceanothus: After a fire, much of the nitrogen in an ecosystem must be replentished by nitrogen fixing plants such as species of ceanothus. Numerous seeds of blue blossom ceanothus (Ceanothus thysiflorus) which had been residing dormant in the soil germinated in response to the Vision Fire, resulting in abundant growth throughout the burn area.
