Wildflower Season

During each spring season, the desert lands within the jurisdiction of the Palm Springs-South Coast Field Office offer several great locations for wildflower viewing, with some years producing a greater or lesser display, depending on duration and timing of rain events throughout the previous autumn and winter.  Some years, you can see vast carpets of wildflowers, while other years are great for flowering desert shrub and tree species.  Lower elevations in areas further south tend to bloom first, with the show moving up the slopes and northward as the season continues.

No matter when you visit, there will be something to see. For more information please visit: http://www.blm.gov/ca/st/en/fo/palmsprings/recreation/wildflowers.html
