Wildflowers are starting to bloom. Here’s where to see them in the Bay Area and California - San Francisco Chronicle

Schoof said. In the past week, rangers identified Henderson’s shooting star, California manroot, California poppy, Fremont’s death camas, Pacific hounds’ tongue, warrior’s plume and tomcat clover. Marin County In northwest Marin, the Douglas iris blooms can be a showstopper, and the best bets are around Limantour Beach at Point Reyes National Seashore and Tomales Bay State Park. “We’re currently enjoying the purple pops of Douglas iris,” State Park Ranger Nick Turner said. At Point Reyes, the Chimney Rock Headland can be legendary — 90 species of wildflowers can provide a coronation of spring. But winds out of the northwest and warm temperatures faded the bloom. Chimney Rock and the nearby Point Reyes Lighthouse are still enough of a draw that the Park Service is enforcing a visitor quota on weekends past the turnoff at Drakes Beach Road. At Marin County Parks, the best prospects are at Loma Alta, Baltimore Canyon, Ring Mountain and Mount Burdell, Passantino said. Ring Mountain Preserve, off Paradise Drive in Corte Madera overlooking the Tiburon shore, can be spectacular, she said. “Expanses of goldfields, tidy tips and other early bloomers make for a spring classic,” Passantino said. “The multicolored flowers provide a foreground for spectacular views of the bay.” East Bay hills Hikers at Mount Diablo State Park have been sharing their wildflower sightings through the Mount Diablo Interpretive Association. Pockets of California poppies are often sighted along North Gate Road and Summit Road. The vicinity of Murchio Gap, accessed from Eagle Peak Trail or Bald Ridge Trail, often has the widest variety. Blooms include poppies, silver lupine, Pacific pea, periwinkle and larkspur. Across the 75 parks in the East Bay Regional Park District, the best for wildflowers are Black Diamond, Anthony Chabot, Sunol and the Briones-to-Diablo Trail. Of these, Black Diamond Regional Preserve, south of Highway 4 near Pittsburg, ranks No. 1 — the Stewartville Trail can be one of the best shows around in early April. Lupine, paintbrush, Ithuriel’s spear, blue dicks and owl’s clover are among the sightings. “Wildflowers are out and seem to be close to normal, even with the dry year,” said Dave Mason at park headquarters. “April is the best time year to see wildflowers in regional parks.” Santa Clara County This has been a good spring for yellow mustard and California poppies across the foothills above Santa Clara Valley. At headquarters for Santa Clara County Parks, Tamara Clark suggested Calero, Santa Teresa, Coyote Lake and Grant County parks. Every April, a wild card is Almaden Quicksilver County Park, south of San Jose. The Mine Hill Trail can be a spectacular show, and early April can be best for monkey flower. Other common early arrivals can include lupine, poppies, buttercup and if you’re lucky, shooting stars.

Local resident Crouse helps annual Flower Run event blossom

The 5K starts in front of Los Altos Hills Town Hall on Fremont Road and goes as far as VMware on Arastradero Road in Palo Alto before looping back to town hall. Participants are encouraged to dress in fun costumes, and finishers will be handed a flower. "May is Foster Care Awareness Month, and May is spring with flowers blooming. We thought that flowers were symbolic of spring and growth," Crouse said. She said her favorite part of last year's event was how intrigued the participants were with Child Advocates' mission. "I loved that everybody stayed, and they were interested in Child Advocates," Crouse said. "The participants were genuinely interested in learning about Child Advocates, and they stayed and hung out with us for a while." Crouse hopes to expand the event in coming years. She mentioned VMware's grounds as a possible site for next year's Flower Run and has visions of one day hosting the event at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara. Child Advocates has scheduled several other fundraisers this year, including a Wine, Women & Shoes event set for Sept. 30. To register for the Flower Run ($30), visit run4fosterkids.com.

Gorgeous gardens open for tour

At the front of the house on the fireplace wall you can see a heart-shaped flagstone. "I brought about 15 of them with me when we moved here from Fremont 18 years ago," Linda Klein said. "The stone mason was waiting on the front porch and asked if we noticed what he put on the fireplace - one of the stones was a heart shape." Tour visitors can look for the rest of the slate hearts throughout the property’s walkways. The Kleins have been creating and enjoying their beautiful backyard oasis for the past 12 years. Their retreat includes a greenhouse built by Dave, who is also a jazz musician. Currently growing the greenhouse are tomatoes and a variety of flowers. Linda, a professed lover of both dirt and rocks, said, "I brought 15 of my favorite rocks from our home in Fremont. Using these and all of the rocks we uncovered in our yard, we built every rock wall you see by hand, moving rock by rock until they became walls." As visitors wander the pathway, they will notice many varieties of succulents, beautiful giant oak trees and Japanese maples. The property also features a casita with a bath and kitchen plus an upper patio/fire pit area with flagstone and granite flooring that Dave and his son laid. Two stunning dogwood trees with white flowers shade the area and one giant rock adds natural beauty and a good memory. Linda said, "I knew the dogwood tree had to go there and I could see a small rock sticking up from the ground. After my son spent hours digging up what turned out to be a huge rock, we decided it had to stay in its original home, right next to the dogwood." Along the fence, visitors will see a variety of metal, stone and other natural artwork collected over the years. Brightly colored flowers such as camellias, azaleas, rhododendrons and columbines line the pathway toward the gorgeous pebble tech pool, surrounded by rocks and encircled in turquoise tile - all designed by Linda and Dave. Tucked away inside the trees, visitors will also find a variety of birdhouses, which Linda built and decorated with small pebbles and painted herself. Further down the pathway lined by vinca major and a hearty groundcover called sedum is Linda's "Secret Garden," a hideaway with two rustic wooden chairs and footstools, sha...
