"First came the heavy winter rains that soaked the soil. Then, the sunny weather not too hot, but just warm enough to fuel the growth. A few more winter rainfalls and Southern California could be ripe for an epic wildflower season in the coming weeks and months. And when they bloom the vibrant colors popping from rolling hills as far as the eye can see thousands of people are bound to seek out their beauty, if past years are any indication."
"California State Parks recently announced it is expecting a moderate-to-strong wildflower bloom across the desert region, courtesy of the storms that showed up in fall and winter. Wildflower growth depends on a delicate mix of weather factors, including rain and its timing, amount of sunlight, seasonal temperature patterns and wind. California poppies emerge on the hillsides of Riverside on Saturday, Jan. 24, 2026, as recent winter rains raise expectations for a strong wildflower bloom."
