Theodore Payne updates
The Wild Flower Hotline is not a guide to “super blooms”. We have produced the Hotline for 36 years, every year, even during drought years with fewer precious flowers. The Hotline is meant to help people enjoy the unique and beautiful nature of Southern California, without diminishing that resource in years to come. We do not include sites that are prone to chaos. We encourage people to treat these floral treasures with the respect due to all living organisms. Make this your watchword: #nowildflowerswereharmed
