This week is typically the time of year my friends and I would head out to
Anza Borrego Desert State Park and check out the wildflowers. This year
just didn't seem to be worth it, We did not receive enough rain and it
didn't happen at crucial points in the winter season. These photos I took
of Hesperocallis Undulata are from 3-14-17.in the Coyote Canyon area on the
eastside of town in a intermittent streambed.. They are widely distributed
in the Borrego Springs area, I have found them in places from stream beds
to dry ridge lines near Fonts Point, They inhabit a far wider array of
habitat zones zone then I had been aware of.

I've included photos from Borrego Springs during a wet winter "Super
Bloom". Mid March 2017. The bulbs for this desert geophyte typically lie
dormant 3-6 feet below the surface. So we need a lot of rain to have the
plant surface and bloom
