I did this once. I bought Wayne Roderick's special wildflower mix at the
fall plant sale of the San Francisco Bay Area chapter of CNPS. I even
convinced my neighbot to sow the same mixture in his front yard. Now,
Wayne did a wonderful job of blending the species for a long and varied
bloom.  And it was absolutely beautiful for several months. However ....
just as the rains end, so does the wildflower bloom, and we ended up
with two front yards full of dead sticks.  It was then that I attempted
to explain to my neighbor what a mediterranean climate was, and that we
had just experienced the effects of that type of climate on wildflowers.
All very natural, you know ....
