Awaiting a Wildflower Explosion

In The New York Times California newsletter:

Awaiting a Wildflower Explosion

In late February and early March, wildflowers begin to peep out on the low-lying coast, deserts and Central Valley. Over time, the blooms make an ascent up the hills, and eventually into the mountains by summer.

Here are a few parks where you can catch some of the first peak flowers of the season:

• Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, about 70 miles northeast of San Diego

• Death Valley National Park, between Fresno and Las Vegas

• Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve, about 50 miles north of Los Angeles

The crowd-pleasing poppies are likely to blossom in the next week or so.

• North Table Mountain Ecological Reserve, about five miles north of Oroville

<snip>

And with the soggy winter, you can count on an added treat: a number of Sierra-fed waterfalls.
