We have enjoyed a few hikes to the river this month and I thought I would share a glimpse of our wildflowers here in Northern California.
Miniature lupine
Just an image of the American River at sunset…serenity!
This one is new to us!!! It is a California peony (Paeonia californica). It was just one plant alongside the path and we almost missed it!
I hope you enjoyed seeing my spring wildflowers and now you can go out to find your own! You might want to use the printable photo hunt below to get you started.
We did our nature walk on Monday and finally got to put the “first wildflower” of the season in our journals. The first and only one we saw was the common blue violet.
Try again every week and keep track of the flowers you find on a calendar. This will be a great way to compare year to year.
