![]() Desert Wildflowers - Southern CaliforniaDesert wildflowers are miracles for moments. They spring into full bloom and fade into seeds and dormancy just as rapidly. That's why it is helpful to have a hotline to check on the blooming seasons. The moments of full bloom vary year to year based on the rainy season. In Southern California we really only have two seasons -- the rainy season and the dry season! The rainy winter months of December through April are the time when the desserts come alive with color and life. The dry season is when plants hunker down and conserve the water they have stored during the wet season. To help you appreciate the miracle of desert wildlflowers, here are some resources about Southern California desert preserves.
