Wildflowers have started to make their annual appearance in the City’s medians and parks, along roadsides and trails, and near municipal buildings. The colorful mix of red corn poppy, corn flower and rocket larkspur are the result of more than 100 acres of fall seed plantings, conducted annually by the Parks and Recreation Department since 1990. Parks staff expect this year’s beauties to be in full bloom later this month.

If you plan to get outside to take some wildflower photos, please do not pick or damage the wildflowers (it’s a City Ordinance) and if you’re taking photos in a City park, follow the City’s photography guidelines found at www.cor.net/photography.
