northern california natives

,

Digital photos from when I first moved to the Bay Area in 2017 and was feeling very inspired and grateful by the beauty, utility, and abundance of native California plants (still am). Many of these photos are taken from the Hester Garden in San Jose tended by the California Native Garden Foundation. Other photos are taken from different spots (mostly along the coast) as I explored the area.

plantain – not native, but naturalized (how I’d like to be)

sweet honeybees
