On Saturday 4/19 we took another drive up Figueroa Mountain Road to check the current state of the wildflowers. We saw a typical progression of what was blooming and noticed lots more Blue Dicks, Mariposa Lilies, Globe Gilia and Chia. It did seem that things would be drying out quickly this year, but a chance of rain this coming Saturday may extend things a little.
Grass Mountain was still green with a little color from poppies.
