This image was taken a couple of years ago at Anza Borrego State Park in California. With all of the rain we are getting in the west this year it looks like this will probably be another great year for wildflowers.
Come on Spring.

Wow, I was there once maybe 50 years ago and don't recall it like this.

Very nice desert wildflower image.
Interesting thought about the wildflowers this year. Did you get a lot of January rains in AZ this year? That's what typically sets off the deserts around the Phoenix area.

Hey Doug, something I just remembered, and you would know better then me, but I read recently that even though we were getting lots of rain here that because we had one of those big blooms a few years ago that there are not enough seeds built up in the ground yet. Not sure how true that is.
An interesting place with a lot of possibilities. Nice image Doug.

I am not sure, Jim. Blooms are dependent on so many different factors it is usually a crapshoot trying to figure it out. All I know is that early blooming is taking place all over the southwest right now. I suspect the hurricane remnant that came through here in October seems to have triggered germination. We will just have to wait and see.

We got a big rain in October, Alan and then consistent rains since then.
