Wildflowers magically appear each spring, washing away the gray of winter with a rainbow of color. This area botanical treasure chest is second only to San Diego County in the number and diversity of spring wildflowers. While Web sites are abuzz with information on where to find the best spots in California, we direct you to three hot spots right here in Santa Cruz County at Wilder Ranch, Sunset Beach and Henry Cowell state parks.
