California Wildflowers 2010

Sunday, January 17, 2010 at 09:20PM

We are in for a week of winter rains, which may bode well for the spring 2010 wildflower season and for California in general. Let's hope that the vulnerable hillsides in the burn area remain intact. The photo above is from the 2009 wildflower season, taken at Wind Wolves Preserve.

This page will be updated as we add new California wildflower photos throughout the season.

Here are links to entries from past wildflower seasons:
