Susan, we have just discussed this very thing. I attached the link below. With our rains, a lot of the desert is already green. When the wildflowers bloom this year, it should be a spectacular show. It will also lead to rattlesnake season in April/May, but you won't be around to enjoy that.

Enjoy your trip.

Thanks for the link! I am excited about the fields of poppies and the fact that it's already green there. Anything to get away from winter up here in NY State. LOL

Can someone please give me an update on the wildflowers growing now? Will I see fields full of poppies the last week in Feb? I see that it's still raining in SE Arizona.
Thanks!

Susan, this site may keep you better updated than we can. Enjoy your visit next month.

Thanks so much for that link! I have been to desertusa before, but didn't remember the wildflower page. Great!
