As amazing as the redwood trees, are the plants of the understory. When I was not looking up, I found myself crouching low or using my 400mm zoom to get close to the plants and flowers.
Oxalis or Redwood Sorrel was a clover-like plant that I found in abundance throughout the forest. This plant is edible and has a tangy, lemony taste.
Another common plant that I found flowering up and down the Pacific Northwest coastal region was thimbleberry.
Here are a few other of the flowering plants.
To see more of this collection go to “Flora of the Redwood Forest.”
To view the redwood forest collection, go to “Into the Redwood Forest.”
