California Wildflowers 2024
Wildflower season is upon us!
Why do we have such gorgeous annual wildflowers that live for a short spring season before going to seed? It has to do with California’s special climate. It makes more sense for these flowers to be annuals with a seasonal life cycle. That way they don’t have to survive the state’s hot and dry summers. They can instead leave a new generation, in the form of seeds, to spring forth in the coming years.
We’re happy to share the CNPS landing page for wildflower season which includes a map of where to see wildflowers.
Please reshare posts on CNPS social media platforms (Instagram, Twitter, Facebook) and tag us in any wildflower-related chapter social posts you create.
