Natural History Wanderings

Wildflower Bloom and Bust Cycles: Join the talk virtually on Thursday, April 22 at 6pm

Many of us have been able to experience the magic of vibrant hillsides showing a kaleidoscope of colors during a superbloom in California, but why isn’t every year a superbloom year? Join Maria Jesus, M.S. Botany student at Claremont University at CalBG, to learn all about the bloom and rest cycles of California’s native wildflowers. Join her on a virtual tour to several beloved wildflower hotspots around the state and learn the best strategies for wildflower viewing during dry years. Come away with a better understanding of how our changing world could impact superblooms of the future and learn about efforts to conserve California’s unique plant diversity.
