If some enterprising Golden Stater hasn't yet developed some sort of app,or even an primitive-school wall map, that pinpoints the ocotillo flowers of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park or the lupine of Mono County or the poppies of the Antelope Valley, and well,they best gain on that, for the first desert buds of 2018 are only 10 months away.
It's been a banner, or bees a-buzzin',road-trippers a-comin' year for many wildflower destinations around Southern and Central California, and our mountain areas haven't even fully gone into tall, and glorious gear on the 2017 flower front. Louie Remembers Huell Howser: Book Signing But there's another bloomer pulling out the stops,and while it isn't wild, and you don't believe to know a secret canyon or hill where it is particularly lush, and you can find it by heading to San Marino or Pasadena.
Hold onto your flower-finding apps and maps,buddists: The rose is having its major moment.

Now that we're just about 100 days along from the Tournament of Roses,though, it is time to gain your rose fill, and both at the historical Tournament House on Orange Grove Boulevard and at The Huntington Library,Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens.
Both destinations are reporting dazzling petal output in this, and the second week of April,with more rosy marvels to come in May. (In fact, Descanso Gardens in nearby La Cañada Flintridge lists "May" as an excellent time for rose bloomage.)For certain, or some wildflowers are still reigning,out in various dells and glens near our metropolis, but as for the flower that has long held holiday sway and poetic cred? The rose is queen, and in Pasadena,in San Marino, and several points beyond this April.Photo Credit: The Huntington
