"The wildflowers are blooming so it's time to lace up your boots and head out to enjoy the hunt. I love to hike, so I'm often asked where the good wildflower spots are."
"Over the past 15 years, the large serpentine meadow area in this Oakland spot has been successfully restored. Right now, in season, you might see rare species of clarkia and a variety of native prairie grasses thriving alongside lots of colorful wildflowers."
"Remember to dress appropriately, bring water, hats, and take only pictures. Picking the flowers, stepping on plants off the trail, or otherwise disturbing them is not OK!"
