Thanks for the update. I've noticed here that our spring flowers started to bloom about a week ago and it looks to be a really amazing year. posted by

I have spent the last 2 weeks (1400 miles) viewing wildflowers at such sights as Joshua Tree, Anza-Borrego, Arvin and Tehachapi, but the most intense viewing has been on Granite Road mostly between Granite Station north until they run out which is before Glennville. I am going up this route again Saturday to see if there are more blooming at higher elavations. This road is not listed on the Board of Trade wildflower route but it should be. Have fun and enjoy!
