<p>Yeah. RIOT OF COLORFUL BLOSSOMS.</p>
<p>That’s the phrase used by the <a href="http://www.parks.ca.gov/pages/638/files/Flower%20Update%20and%20Map%20March%204%202010.pdf" target="_blank">Anza-Borrego Desert State Park Wildflower Report</a> (PDF) for this week. And worry not, fellow procrastinators – because of the recent cooler temperatures, they now expect peak bloom to be the second or third week of March – so there’s still time to plan the trip south.</p>
<p>The Anza-Borrego Desert Natural History Association’s page has <a href="http://www.abdnha.org/pages/03flora/reports/current.htm" target="_blank">a few pictures</a> of some of the early bloomers along Coyote Canyon, Henderson Canyon Road, and the Elephant Trees Trail. Definitely worth a visit if you want to get motivated for the road trip!</p>
