This Aug. 24, 2016 photo provided by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service shows the Hidden Lake Bluecurl, a tiny flowering plant that is only found around a single vernal pool in a Southern California mountain range. Previously listed as endangered, the USFWS says the Hidden Lake Bluecurl has recovered and will be officially taken off the list of endangered species on July 2, 2018. The plant lives high in the San Jacinto Mountains around an ephemeral pool that comes and goes with the seasons. It was placed on the list in 1998 because of trampling by hikers and horses.
