Anza-Borrgo Desert Natural History Association posted a new wildflower report:
The Paloverde trees are in bloom! All around Borrego Springs the Paloverdes are magnificent right now, draped in bright yellow.
The S2: started now at mile 15. Although it is close to the hike of March 25, the wash is different. More shrubs here: lotebush, desert apricot, desert thorn and acacia. We found fields of white wallace’s woolly daisy and pincushions. Lots of lupines, fiddlenecks, jewelflowers, blue dicks, wild heliotrope, large desert bluebells, cream-cups and spectacle pods. Also several wide throated yellow monkeyflower and interior goldenbush.
Pictograph trail: The area is looking fairly green. Flowers are few and tiny, but there is a lot of beauty in those tiny flowers if you bend down and take a closer look.
