On April 6 Hungry Valley published a new wildflower report. However, note the date of actual report is 3/28/15 so the flowers will be further along and some will be past peak or bloom.
Come out and play! And while you are here, enjoy the wildflowers! But, beware; warm weather has brought out the rattlesnakes, too! Please watch where you are walking when viewing the flowers.
Because it has been so warm, the yellow is fading as the fiddlenecks and goldenbush push past their prime; but it is still part of the color palette at Hungry Valley SVRA with the bladder-pods and wild parsley in full bloom. The lupine and the purple sage add a vibrant splash of color to the park. The Indian paintbrush and the scarlet bugler add patches of red to the landscape. Our State Flower, the California Poppy, is showing up as bright orange patches on the hillsides. The grass is already turning brown, so, unless there is some rain soon, it may be a short season for wildflowers.
