Carrizo Plain Wildflower Update 2/10/15

Carrizo Plain National Monument reports:

February 10, 2015 – The monument has received some rain, however the past couple of years have been very dry, so we are still waiting to see if and how much of a wildflower season we will have.


Mid March to mid April is the usual time frame for wildflower season on Carrizo, but it is dependent on many factors, including temperature, rainfall and the timing of the two that determine which flowers bloom and their distribution in any given season. Every year is not spectacular and only a few flowers may prevail in some years.
