I was curious if anyone here knew when the purple and yellow flowers at Factory Butte typically bloom. I looked on the BLM website and they say:
"The best time of year to enjoy the flowers of Factory Butte is during the spring from late March to early June. Bright purplemat and bee-plant yellow flowers cover the foreground of the Factory Butte rock formation."
I know that the peak will change from year to year but this seems like a very large window. Just hoping someone here could help me narrow in on two weeks or so.
Thanks,
andy

I believe it was late April when I was there and found tons of flowers. The amount of flowers can vary greatly from year to year, though, depending on the rainfall.
