Gardens: Wildflowers
Some of the most beautiful displays of flora around are wildflower blooms. After a good rainy season, many people flock to areas that are known to produce wildflowers... some of the common places to visit are deserts where flowers try and take advantage of the sudden influx of water and literally explode with blooms. Of course, not everyone lives near areas with wildflowers they can visit, in which case your nearby Garden might be a good bet. Many gardens have set aside areas for regional or exotic wildflower displays. Below are the gardens in this category, listed by region: |
