A few of our favorite little gems that pop up under the tall trees
Wildflower season is one of the best times to experiences California’s great outdoors.
If it’s spring, it’s wildflower season.
There’s nothing like walking through a natural place, and coming across an amazing wildflower. And during this time of superblooms, we want to remind people that the redwood forests are wonderful places to find wildflowers. And that goes for both the coast redwood and giant sequoia forests. There are literally hundreds of different types that you might find out there, but we thought we’d share a few of our favorites.
Here you go:
Trillium
Rhododendron
Douglas Iris
Lupine
Leopard Lily
Sticky monkey flower
Alpine Lily
Snowflower
Spotted Coralroot
Wood Strawberry
Stream violet
Mariposa Lily

The flowers are beautiful and somewhat different from the flowers we see here in the east. Thanks.
