Wildflowers are so beautiful! I'm very happy to help you find some gorgeous flowers to grow.

Coreopsis are gorgeous, but short lived. It  is known for its hardiness and for self sowing prolifically. You can plant it in large wildflower gardens orprairies.
Poppies are California most popular flower and no wonder why! Its rich yellow color, will surely make you enjoy the flowers.
Allium stellatum is another beautiful flower for you to enjoy. Plus its bulbs are edible!
Rudbeckia triloba is one of my favourites. It's very easy to grow! This plant will  re-seed by itself and provide you with gorgeous flowers for years!
You can also check  http://rareseeds.com/seeds/ to find a big variety of wildflower seeds!
