Have you seen a beautiful wildflower while in the park and want more information about it? We have over 1200 species of plants native to the Golden Gate National Parks (Recreation Area). Here we have information on many of the wildflowers and plants you will see along the trails in the park, and ones we have used to restore habitats and plant communities throughout the Park.
