California Wildflowers

Perhaps no other state offers such an array of natural scenic wonders as does California.

With all of her wondrous sights many of them would be incomplete without the presence of California wildflowers.

Years ago my family and I lived in San Diego and had our choice on weekend trips of visiting such varied scenic places as the Pacific Ocean, the desert region or mountains.
