No 'super bloom' but wildflowers still coming to Anza-Borrego - Los Angeles Times

Box Canyon, Rainbow Canyon and Hornblend Canyon. “We don’t want people to get their hopes up too high,” she said. “Right now people are reporting patches here and there, especially in the area we call south of Scissors Crossing. They’re seeing some nice blooms. Not big fields or anything, but people who are into botany are finding them.” An Ocotillo plant with some red flowers sits on the western edge of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park in 2013. (Charlie Neuman / San Diego Union-Tribune) In a phone interview last week, Knaak said the forecast for the rest of the peak season wasn’t looking great. Then she called back 20 minutes later with joy and excitement in her voice. “Do you hear that?” she asked, holding the phone to the window at the history association’s office, where a roar of rain was coming down. “It’s pouring. This is a game-changer.”According to the National Weather Service, a little under a quarter-inch of rain fell in the Borrego desert Wednesday afternoon. That may not sound like much, but the Borrego region averages only 5.3 inches a year, and more rain is in the forecast this week. Knaak said it takes from three to six weeks for flowers to emerge after a good rainfall like last week’s. The flowers now blooming in the park were germinated in a late January storm, so Knaak said the soonest these new flowers will arrive is late March or early April. Silver-dollar-sized blossoms can be seen in the crown of a barrel cactus near the top of Yaqui Pass Road in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park in 2010.(Bill Wechter / San Diego Union-Tribune) Visitors arriving at the desert park this spring will find most attractions open. The state park is open for a $10 day-use fee, dispersed camping is allowed and hiking trails are open, though state officials are encouraging single-household groups to ensure social distancing. The park is not offering special events, and its visitors center is closed, but its phone line is open at (760) 767-4205.For the second year in a row, the history association has been forced to cancel its biggest fundraiser of the year, the spring garden tour, as well as its spring birding festival. But on the positive side, it has transitioned many of its ticketed walking tours into webinars that have received immense visitor traffic from all over the U.S., as well as Canada, Mexico and England. Details on the webinars and other virtual programs can be found on the association’s website at abdnha.org or its wildflower page at borregoblooms.org. The association also strongly encourages visitors to call ahead for updates on its wildflower hotline, where a frequently updated recorded message includes where blooms can be found and what to expect. That number is (760) 767-4684. Or visit parks.ca.gov.

Wildflowers are starting to bloom. Here’s where to see them in the Bay Area and California - San Francisco Chronicle

Drakes Beach Road. At Marin County Parks, the best prospects are at Loma Alta, Baltimore Canyon, Ring Mountain and Mount Burdell, Passantino said. Ring Mountain Preserve, off Paradise Drive in Corte Madera overlooking the Tiburon shore, can be spectacular, she said. “Expanses of goldfields, tidy tips and other early bloomers make for a spring classic,” Passantino said. “The multicolored flowers provide a foreground for spectacular views of the bay.” East Bay hills Hikers at Mount Diablo State Park have been sharing their wildflower sightings through the Mount Diablo Interpretive Association. Pockets of California poppies are often sighted along North Gate Road and Summit Road. The vicinity of Murchio Gap, accessed from Eagle Peak Trail or Bald Ridge Trail, often has the widest variety. Blooms include poppies, silver lupine, Pacific pea, periwinkle and larkspur. Across the 75 parks in the East Bay Regional Park District, the best for wildflowers are Black Diamond, Anthony Chabot, Sunol and the Briones-to-Diablo Trail. Of these, Black Diamond Regional Preserve, south of Highway 4 near Pittsburg, ranks No. 1 — the Stewartville Trail can be one of the best shows around in early April. Lupine, paintbrush, Ithuriel’s spear, blue dicks and owl’s clover are among the sightings. “Wildflowers are out and seem to be close to normal, even with the dry year,” said Dave Mason at park headquarters. “April is the best time year to see wildflowers in regional parks.” Santa Clara County This has been a good spring for yellow mustard and California poppies across the foothills above Santa Clara Valley. At headquarters for Santa Clara County Parks, Tamara Clark suggested Calero, Santa Teresa, Coyote Lake and Grant County parks. Every April, a wild card is Almaden Quicksilver County Park, south of San Jose. The Mine Hill Trail can be a spectacular show, and early April can be best for monkey flower. Other common early arrivals can include lupine, poppies, buttercup and if you’re lucky, shooting stars.

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

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."media-image image-set="https://www.gannett-cdn.com/presto/2020/11/25/PPAS/96c6f4f2-3e85-49ee-9c6f-69f2f1b41433-unnamed-2.jpg bestCrop, https://www.gannett-cdn.com/presto/2020/11/25/PPAS/96c6f4f2-3e85-49ee-9c6f-69f2f1b41433-unnamed-2.jpg?crop=3023,2268,x0,y375 4:3, https://www.gannett-cdn.com/presto/2020/11/25/PPAS/96c6f4f2-3e85-49ee-9c6f-69f2f1b41433-unnamed-2.jpg?crop=2268,3024,x302,y0 3:4, https://www.gannett-cdn.com/presto/2020/11/25/PPAS/96c6f4f2-3e85-49ee-9c6f-69f2f1b41433-unnamed-2.jpg?crop=3023,1701,x0,y453 16:9" image-alt="Pioneertown-based Wild Bread bakery offers handcrafted and naturally leavened breads, which means they're made with a sourdough culture rather than commercial yeast.
