I've just added a sub-page link at top right on my below website homepage:
Spring 2008 wildflower areas: Current Climate Information
that provides concentrated information on the climate condition status for well known spring wildflower locations in desert regions of Southern California. Information is presented mainly through a state precipitation map and graphs plotted from Department of Water Resourses CDEC site public precipitation data. Thus information that can be useful for evaluating if various locations have likely received enough rain for decent blooms and when. I will be updating the information as the current season progresses. As has been reported on a few well known web sites, the first desert wildflowers have already risen in some Eastern Mojave areas with a lot more to come in the next couple months.

good information to know David. I like how thorough you are though some of it is over my head.

David - you have me waiting impatiently for the wildflower season, and I have time to go out to shoot this year!
Thanks,
Scott

Well I just got back from a long 1,400 miler down to the Joshua Tree NP area and the bloom in a couple limited areas down there was really something to see and shoot. But for you still wondering, the flowers peaked during my visit and in some areas were already passed peak and increasingly looking dry. And yesterday's violent desert winds ( http://www.pe.com/localnews/rivcounty/stories/PE_News_Local_D_winds03.38e0e33.html ) that drove me out, ending my trip early, have likely waisted a lot of the flower areas of what had still been superb. ...David
