Desert Wildflowers

When will the desert wildflowers bloom?

We usually start our wildflower updates in January, but sometimes rain and weather create an early showing of color in the desert. To plan your visit to coincide with the peak of the bloom – keep up to date with DesertUSA’s Wildflower Reports. Be sure to bookmark this page for weekly updates and sign up for our newsletter.
