U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIORBUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT:
Carrizo Plain Wildflower Status Info Mid March to mid April is the usual time frame for wildflower season on Carrizo, but it is dependent on many factors, including temperature, rainfall and the timing of the two that determine which flowers bloom and their distribution in any given season. Every year is not spectacular and only a few flowers may prevail in some years.
