Links to California Wildflower pages:
- I have started a new collection of Northern California wildflower photographs; mostly natives, but including some introduced species
- Guy Bruyea has a great collection of Southern California wildflower photographs
- The most comprehensive collection of Wildflower photographs can be found at the CalPhotos: Plants site at the University of California, Berkeley. There you will find a searchable database of photographs of flowers, plants, fungi and more, and available for non-commercial use. The collection started as a set of wildflower photographs taken by Brother Alfred Brousseau F.S.C. (1908-1988), but as Berkeley grew the online collection, they renamed their "California Wildflowers" database to CalPhotos to reflect the broader range of subjects archived. More at the CalPhotos history page.
