Amid the many wildflowers along Mitchell Canyon of Mt. Diablo State Park in Northern California was this lovely native Yarrow (Achillea millefolium), spread like a flowery wedding dress #wildflowers #nativecaliforniaplants #flowers #naturephotography

The very common Arroyo Lupine making an appearance. Prolific re-seeders. They pop up everywhere in my yard. #nativeplants #nativecaliforniaplants

On day 10 of my #nativeplants posts, here is the delicate Mt. Diablo fairy-lantern or globe lily (Calochortus pulchellus), a rare native wildflower found only on and around Mt. Diablo in northern California. #naturephotography #photography #nativecaliforniaplants

Wandering in the Los Osos State Oaks Reserve, I found a massive patch of Ribes menziesii, Canyon Gooseberry. I love the reflexed sepals.

First wild flower of the year - California bluebell (Phacelia campanularia) a member of the borage family. I read it likes the Mojave Desert but seems to be happy here in zone 10b - Southern California. #nativeplants #nativecaliforniaplants

One of the mallows in the Niguel Botanical Preserve here in southern Orange County. I didn’t even know this place existed until a month ago! #nativeplants #nativecaliforniaplants

Came across this beautiful native manzanita while hiking. Was so inspired by it that I had to paint it. Original painting is 18x24in on canvas titled Rockville Hills

McMinnville manzanita blooming in Southern California. Interesting to see what natives bloom at different times of year here in zone 10b. #nativecaliforniaplants #nativeplants #manzanita

On our recent #HighSierra trip, we came upon a large stand of Drummond's Anemone/Anemone drummondii. Interesting that their buds' purple(2nd photo) only persists under their blooms once they've opened (3rd photo).💚 #NativePlants #NativeCaliforniaPlants #Macro #Nature #Photography #OriginalContent 📷🌱

Denseflower Paintbrush/Castilleja densiflora, Sonoma County, Ca.- This wildflower can be found in chaparral biome, but I found all of these plants in grasslands (some coastal, some inland). #NativeCaliforniaPlants #NativePlants #Photography #Nature #OriginalContent #Wildflowers
