In Borrego Springs, California, recent autumn rains have caused an early burst of wildflower blooms in the typically barren desert. Visitors to Anza-Borrego Desert State Park are seeing sunflowers, desert sand-verbena, basket evening primrose, and desert lilies. This is unusual, as blooms typically appear in February or March. The desert lily, with its white, trumpet-shaped flowers, is a highlight. While not all lilies are blooming, some are opening and emitting fragrance. This early bloom has raised hopes for a potential superbloom in spring, but experts say it depends on future rainfall. Jennifer Koles notes that this early bloom is a pleasant surprise but not a guarantee of a superbloom.
