Looks pretty good so far! Both Anza-Borrego and Ocotillo Wells have had lots of flowers appearing.

We were out Sunday night for the super-moon.
Found some flowers when we were heading up S2 near Inner Pasture.
Looks like it could be a good bloom this year.

Every Wednesday I pull invasive plants in the park. Get to see lots of flowers! We were pulling them up in Coyote Canyon, but it was closed because of safety. Just today it opened up to Desert Garden. There are a lot of flower seekers now. Henderson Canyon doesn’t have much to see right now. The Sand Verbena is spectacular on S-22 from Clark Dry Lake to the middle of the Badlands.
Living in Borrego is great, but the Flowergeddon period was not so great!

I believe there was a NY Time article last year that help fuel the fire.

Where are the majority of the blooms happening? I was just at Blair this weekend and while everything is green I didn't see any flowers.


Usual popular areas of blooms are around Henderson Canyon Road and the alluvial fans that drain the Ysidro’s. Other areas can be just as good with less people.

Looked promising a couple days ago, but still not full speed yet.

There is a disheartening amount of Sahara Mustard around, including remote spots. Good to see it is being weeded out in some areas.

I heard there may be some blooms in the Coyote Canyon area
Going to head out Saturday for the night and explore the Canyon Sin Nombre area to see what we can find.
I found this old picture from the general area I want to check out from 15 years ago when there was another Super Bloom

Coyote Canyon rain gauge got >2.5” yesterday.

No surprise the road is closed due to flooding.

I wonder if one of the next two weekends will be flowergeddon? I hope not.
