Wildflowers of Low Gap Park: Learn the names of 35 cool California flowers. Bonus: Dog & cat cameos
Channel: Mighty Moments: That Was Cool
Date: 24/04/2024

This video shows nearly all the wildflowers you can see blooming in Low Gap Park in the spring, and is the result of my obsession with learning all of their names after hiking past them so many times with the dog.

I identified most of the flowers with the help of the brochure "Wildflowers of Low Gap Park" created for the Sanhedrin Chapter of the California Native Plant Society by the California Naturalist Program, Inland Mendocino, in 2014. But at least one special one, a hybrid mix of the Bowl-tubed Iris and Purdy's Iris, was identified thanks to the Reny Parker's wonderful book, "Wildflowers of California's North Coast Range."
