Tom, thanks! I think you are right on the Collinsia, although I have to check some of my other pictures of it to see some details. I’ll have to dig in a bit on the other, but I appreciate the direction on that.

The first unidentified flower looks like a Collinsia, maybe Collinsia sparsiflora. The second looks like a Leptosiphon or Linanthus.

In general, it is against the law to pick wildflowers.

In a preserve like this, it is definately not allowed. Many of these are endangered species, and this particular type of location is very rare.

And, from a moral standpoint, if you pick them, other visitors wouldn’t get to enjoy them!

Thanks for the ID, Eric! I appreciate it.

I’m glad to hear that the season is that long, I tend to think more along the lines of what I see further inland where things dry out sooner than that. I’ll be heading back there in May, I hope…

Probably not this particular spot, Cynthia, as you wouldn’t be able to see the Golden Gate Bridge from here. She was more likely to be in the Marin Headlands area.
