A series of Plant ID Hikes have been undertaken by Friends of Griffith Park and Jorge Ochoa, often referred to as the “Indiana Jones of Horticulturists” in the Park over the past few months. The goal: introduce Park users to the wonders of some of the beautiful native plants that can only be found in this wilderness area. The next hike slated to take place on April 17th will continue to document the over 300 native plants including species like the chocolate lily (Fritillaria biflora) that can be found in this lush garden.

The LA Times recently ran an article on these hikes… Los Angeles Times March 19 2016
