Updated 4/28/11

The Santa Cruz Sentinel had an article on Santa Cruz Wildflower hotspots: Nature connection: Discovering local wildflowers – Santa Cruz Sentinel.
It mentions Rancho del Oso’s Waddell Creek, DeLaveaga Park, Wilder Ranch, Pogonip, Nisene Marks and Moore Creek Preserve.

There is a wildflower show this Friday and Saturday at Rancho del Oso. For information on the wildflower show  and wildflower hikes at Rancho del Oso go to: http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=26539
Tom Stienstra reports: “More than 50 species of wildflowers are estimated to be blooming within short range of the Nature and History Center, which will provide examples of roughly 100 different wildflowers for identification.”
