Wildflowers of California
From the golden rolling hills and grasslands of Southern California to the sun-drenched deserts of the Mojave, including Antelope Valley, Carrizo Plains, Chino Hills, Tehachapi, Death Valley, and Anza-Borrego, California bursts into color with one of nature's most spectacular wildflower displays. Vast carpets of California poppies, waves of purple lupine, fragrant sand verbena and dune evening primrose, vibrant magenta owl's clover, fields of hillside daisy, and countless other native annuals transform the landscape into a superbloom, a rare, sometimes once-in-a-decade event so dense and vivid it can be seen from space. As one of the planet's true biodiversity hotspots, California hosts an astonishing variety of spring ephemerals. When winter rains bring the right conditions, the result is a breathtaking abundance of wildflowers that feels like an impressionist painting or even a dream. Feel free to browse this California Wildflower collection. The fine art in this gallery is available as wall art, created with high-quality materials such as acrylic or metal prints to preserve the vibrant colors and detail for your enjoyment.
Columbia Gorge & Mt Rainier Wildflowers
Another two of favorite places to photograph are the wildflowers of the Columbia Gorge and Paradise Meadows of Mount Rainier. From the rolling hills of Dalles Mountain Ranch and the southern slopes of Mt. Hood to the Columbia Gorge, arrowleaf balsamroot and vibrant lupine bloom beneath scattered oak trees in a classic Pacific Northwest spring display. Farther north, the world-famous Paradise meadows of Mt. Rainier National Park explode into one of the most spectacular wildflower gardens on Earth.
