California Travel Tips
2015 Better Flower Viewing
Published on: March 04, 2015
- SAN MATEO COUNTY: Filoli Gardens in Woodside: “Last year was the driest year since we began keeping records. In 2015 we’ve received twice the rain as last year, but we still have a ways to go.” It’s a great time to view the red Rococo tulips (bottom, left picture) and Daffodil Meadow.
- SIERRA FOOTHILLS: Daffodils are spectacular in Volcano, home to Daffodil Hill (upper left).
- SAN DIEGO COUNTY: Carlsbad Flower Fields are open through early May for ranunculus viewing.
- DESERT: Joshua Tree National Park’s weekly flower report says that Desert Parsley, Tidy-Tips, Forget-me-nots and Pale Primrose were spotted. California’s State Flower, the poppy, at Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve dots the green hills this week. Rain has resulted in a tremendous number of poppy plants germinating across the reserve, but most only have buds forming at this time. California Poppy Festival arrives in mid-April.
- CHANNEL ISLANDS: On Anacapa Island the giant coreopis (bottom, right) are in bloom through March.
