Carrizo Plain National Monument reports on 2/11/16

There are no wildflowers on Carrizo Plain National Monument at this time.  For the most current update contact the Education Center at 805-475-2131.  The Education Center is open Thursday – Sunday from 9am – 4pm.

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.
