Flowers
aren't only in bloom in people's gardens this time of year. Wildflowers
can be found just about everywhere in the woods and marshes. Bleeding
hearts, which are most often found in shady areas, and irises are
some of the season's first bloomers.

Wildflowers
are abundant nearly every-where on the South Coast, especially
in coastal mountain meadows.

Wild
poppies grow in the most unlikely places along the coast. Sometimes
you'll see them next to a road, growing in gravel or they can be
found in open fields. Tiger lilies also are harbingers of summer.
They can be found in bright yellow or orange and in rare occasions,
red.
For
flower enthusiasts, a hike along the trail between Sunset Bay State
Park and Cape Arago near Charleston is a perfect opportunity to
enjoy the scenic coast and find wildflowers to photograph. Varieties
can include flowers in the orchid and lily families, kittens ears
and more.
Wildflowers
are abundant along the Rogue River trail in Curry County. For those
who might not be able to hike some of the trails, driving tours
in late spring and summer between Powers, Agness and Gold Beach
offer excellent opportunities.
