Will late rains bring a wildflower super bloom to California deserts this year? - Desert Sun

Let me put it this way. ... This is a disastrous year for wildflowers," said James Cornett, a longtime Coachella Valley ecologist. "I haven't seen it this bad in memory."While a few hardy perennials are showing their colors, and burn areas are seeing velvet green regrowth, the year is far more likely to stay a super dud.A "meager" 0.83 of an inch of rain fell at Palm Springs International Airport from Nov. 1 through Sunday, per National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration measurements tabulated by Cornett. A typical year sees about 2.5 inches in that period, and a super bloom requires about 5 inches, he said. "So we have received less than one-third of an average year's worth of rainfall."No flower carpets this yearAs the author of three wildflower books covering the American Southwest, Cornett likes to stay positive when rains do come, but he said this year's storms are too little, too late. He and other area biologists blame climate change for more frequent, more severe droughts, depriving even water-savvy desert plants of the inch or so they need to bloom. Jim Dice, reserve manager for UC Irvine's Steele Burnand Research Center in Borrego Springs, agrees this year is bleak if you're looking for rolling carpets of or...

Here are which wildflower seeds to plant, where to buy them - Record Searchlight

Wildflower season is upon usWildflower season is upon us and with it comes a patchwork of color and the Coachella Valley Wildflower Festival in Palm Desert. (Mar. 3, 2016)Palm Springs Desert SunQ: I would like to plant some wildflowers on my property in Igo. Do you have recommendations as to what type of seed I should plant and where I can find bulk wildflower seed?A: Because I do not know how large of an area you want to plant or your purpose for planting wildflower seed, I will make some recommendations based on the most common site situations and reasons for planting wildflowers.The most common reason we receive for someone wishing to plant wildflowers is for erosion control after an area has burned. If this is the case you might consider using a non-native erosion-control mix that contains rye grass and crimson clover. These tend to sprout up quickly, even now when soil temperatures are cooler, have some flowers and are affordable. They may require a bit of weed whacking in the spring but usually do not produce a lot of heavy grass or become invasive in non-irrigated sites. These seed mixes can be found locally at feed stores — including Palo Cedro Feed or Hawes Farm Supply — and some landscape supply ...

Your holiday gift guide: Everything made by California desert locals - The Desert Sun

Somewhere in the Desert Good BoxMarried duo Eric Wilson and Gardenia Ramirez were born and raised in the Coachella Valley but now reside in the high desert, where they've planted kale alongside apple, apricot and fig trees on their farm in Morongo Valley. It's there that they work to bring their desert neighbors boxes of fresh produce sourced from farmers around California. I'm signed up to receive their "Good Box" each week. It's chock-full of fruits and vegetables like Granny Smith apples and spaghetti squash, plus cucumber that tastes like candy. Ramirez adds recipes focused on ingredients in each box — which is pretty much the only way I can single-handedly put together a meal these days.Somewhere in the Desert offers weekly, bi-monthly and monthly subscriptions to "The Good Box" ($37, $38 and $39, respectively) as well as a smaller version called "The Barracks Box" (Eric served in the U.S. Army) for $18 each week, or $19 twice a month. You can also grab a one-off of the larger box for $40 and the smaller for $20.They also sell a "Good Deed Box," ($30) which goes to local families in need.Order online at somewhereinthedesert.com. You can get home delivery in the high desert, or pick up boxes at Las Palmas Brewing in Palm Springs (461 N. Palm Canyon Dr.) or Desert Beer Co. in Palm Desert (77-770 Country Club Dr., Ste. D).Wild Bread Bakery sourdough loavesI cannot get enough of these sourdough loaves made by Lis Austin and Lara Simone in Pioneertown. The pair received their cottage bakery license in March right before the pandemic, but continued with socially distanced pickups — and thank goodness, because it's been a weekly source of carbs and inspiration. All of the bread is handcrafted and naturally leavened, "which means it's made with our sourdough culture rather than commercial yeast," Austin said. "Each loaf takes around 36 hours to make, starting with preparing the sourdough culture, mixing the dough, slowly fermenting the loaves, and ending with a hot bake in our hearth oven."m...

Will there be a superbloom this year in the California desert? Here's where to spy early wildflowers - Desert Sun

Arizona lupine.Another place to spot early blooms is along Interstate 10 throughout the Coachella Valley, he says. To prevent rubber-necking for flowers, however, Cornett offers a detour: From Cathedral City, travel north on Date Palm toward the highway and then turn right on Varner and go toward Thousand Palms.If you’re feeling adventurousOswit Canyon, located near the intersection of Bogart Trail and South Palm Canyon in Palm Springs, also blooms early, Cornett said. He says he has already spotted some flowers there — including wild heliotrope, chuparosa and brown-eyed primrose — but says it’s far from reaching its peak.He also expects that flowers will be blooming soon along Box Canyon Road, about three miles east of Mecca.Barrows, meanwhile, recommended checking out early-blooming flowers near the south entrance to Joshua Tree National Park.If you’re planning aheadMission Springs Canyon, located off Highway 62 and Mission Creek Road should begin blooming in the next couple of weeks, Cornett said. The canyon is about 1,000 miles above the desert floor, he says, so it typically reaches peak bloom in late March or early April.Rebecca Plevin is a reporter for The Desert Sun.
