Nice day in the #OakWoodlands of Golden Gate Park where along with oaks I saw bush monkeyflower, California sagebrush, hummingbird sage, coast buckwheat, beach strawberry, common yarrow, Hooker's evening primrose, and even a little rooreh by the path.

Various shrubs and herbs, including bush monkeyflower, also known as sticky monkeyflower, with its characteristic light-orange trumpet-like flowers, said to resemble a monkey's face. In the foreground, an herb, coast buckwheat, with white flower clusters, and deep green leaves belonging to coast strawberry creep down a small stone.
Hooker's evening primrose plants, tall herbs with big yellow flowers. Oaks behind them.
Common yarrow (herb with white flower clusters), orange California poppies that have closed up for the evening, and a hummingbird sage next to the poppies. The area is mulched and has teal flags to indicate plantings.
Rooreh, also called miner's lettuce, a small stout plant with wide leaves shaped like satellite dishes, to the left of a wooden step on a trail.

It’s sad to see so much Bermuda buttercup crowding out natives in the GGP #oakWoodlands. I carefully pulled some out that was crowding this native coast buckwheat at least. Guess I should go to the Friends of Oak Woodlands volunteer day!

The yellow flowers of Bermuda buttercup sticking up from amid a coast buckwheat (native sub-shrub with dull-dark green leaves shaped like dinosaur kale leaves).
After photo of the buckwheat. There is still Bermuda buttercup around it, but not in it.
