About the Photo Gallery of Native Plants
Most of the native plants in the photos can be seen along the Santa Margarita River trail. The list of plants and corresponding photos can be selected by scientific name, common name, or even more fun... by plant type and family name. For new stuff see the page on Updates and Additions.
