More Plants of Leona Canyon

East Bay Regional Park District provides a great resource for identifying plants and wildflowers in the parks. You can access or download wild plant or wildflower photo guides from: https://www.ebparks.org/natural-resources/biodiversity/plants-checklist.
  • The wild plant guides are available for the district, and sorted by scientific name or family name.
  • The wildflower guides are available by district or by a specific park, and sorted by sorted by color, then by family and genus within the color.
The photo guides also identify whether a plant is a native plant or introduced, and whether an annual or perennial. I am using the information to identify a few more plants from our recent hike in Leona Canyon. This is a great resource for anyone new to the San Francisco Bay Area, or who wants to learn more about plants in the area.
