California has an amazing number of beautiful wildflower species, many of which are found nowhere else. It’s an impossible task to identify the very best; suffice it to say that the following 25 wildflowers are among my favorites. It is always a treat to find any of these flowers in bloom while enjoying a hike in California!
Although these 25 species of California wildflowers are among my favorites, there are so many other species that I could also have included. In future articles I’ll post photos of additional favorites — including wildflowers from other states and countries.
