March 23, 2013 John reports: More from Colusa County, Northern California -- Orchards and croplands abound with "wildflowers". Always ask for permission before entering private lands - respect the rights of the owners.

March 18, 2013 Daniel reports: Although it only looks like a desert in the summer, there are a lot of wildflowers out on Table Mountain south of our ranch on Cherokee Road between Oroville CA and Cherokee. These photos were taken last Wednesday evening (March 13th). It's been a very dry spring, but the lupine and goldfields are making a good accounting of themselves. More rain due Tuesday and Wednesday may prolong the display. Table Mountain is one of the top spots for wildflowers in Northern California.

Feb 27, 2013 David reports: No photos but went out hiking the last two weekends up here. At the south end of Pt. Reyes National Seashore near Palomarin Beach there were numerous poppies blooming along the trail near the beach. At the extreme north end of Salt Point State Park there were a few wild iris blooming. While it has been pretty dry the last few weeks earlier in the season we had a substantial amount of rain up here in Northern California.

June 1 2012 Debra Reports: Took a trip to Lost Lake in lower Cajon Pass and up Swarthout Canyon. Then did some 4WD side trips from Lone Pine Canyon, up 3N31 to Gobbles Knob and back down 3N29. I was surprised to see many flowers blooming. Here is a short list of what we saw.

Many Blooming Yucca, Delphinium, Penstemon, Cal Flannelbush, and a few Prickly Poppy and Bush Poppy

May 27 2012 Steve Reports: My brother-in-law Rob and I spent a few days in Yosemite last week. I found a few interesting plants. The best one was Steers' Head blooming along the road to Yosemite Creek. Down in the Valley it's relative; Bleeding Hearts was bloom at Bridal Vail Falls. The Dogwood Trees were blooming everywhere. The area around Oakhurst was good for Fremontia and Bear's Clover but Hite Cove was on the way out.

May 3 2012 David Reports: I was in the Sierra foothills, north of Sacramento, last weekend. Even though it was a fairly dry winter, the flowers are blooming. Everything was very green, and there was a pretty good wildflower show. I spotted some nice globe lilies, lots of lupine, big head clover, Douglas's Triteleia, some poppies, white brodiaea, and blue eye grass.
