For a brief period each year, Santa Teresa Park becomes ablaze in wildflowers.
Flowers can be seen all over the park, but the best trails for viewing
wildflowers are the Stile Ranch Trail, the Rocky Ridge Trail, the Joice-Bernal
Trail, and the Bernal Hill Loop Trail. These pictures were taken between
3/16 and 4/14/2002. If you missed the wildflowers this year, there's always
next year. I'm a photographer, not a botanist, so identifying these flowers
is not my thing. I appreciate them for their beauty. But, if you can help
identify them, I would appreciate it.
