I'm not sure. I would expect to start seeing some paintbrush in my neighborhood (7000ft) in about 2 weeks. I'm hoping that the flowers in Utah will be in full bloom then as I'll be out there.

Last year I found tons of wildflowers around CNM and Rattlesnake Canyon on the last day of April/first day of May. I think Jesse Speer went down there within the next week and found more up high. Time's a'comin'!

Yeah, I was there mid-May, mostly high like Todd said. Plenty of bloomin' cacti too. Conditions should be the same this year, I'd guess.
