Revel in spring blooms with these native wildflowers growing by the ocean near San Francisco. Mori Point<\/a> is a 32 acre (13 hectare) park in Pacifica, California with stunning coastal views. It’s part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area<\/a>, which encompasses much of Pacific coastline outside the Golden Gate<\/a>. Dave and I recently took a walk at Mori Point, and despite the chilly ocean winds, there were fields of flowers to enjoy.<\/p>\n

The windy conditions result in few trees, and short, scrubby growth. There’s little rain, but lots of moisture from fog. Over the last few years, there have been great efforts to remove invasive plants and restore natives, and the results are spectacular. These photos all show native Northern California species, including Checkerbloom<\/a>, Tidy Tips<\/a>, Lupines<\/a>, Blue Eyed Grass<\/a>, Indian Paintbrush<\/a>, and California Goldfields<\/a>. Many of these are available at our local garden nurseries, and easy to grow from seed on the coast. Check out Mori Point’s hiking trails<\/a> and its wonderful vistas if you’re in the area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
