Figueroa Mountain Wildflower Update April 4, 2019

Grass Mountain has been quite flashy and gorgeous, but never did quite fill out completely like other super bloom years. There are still quite a few green patches where the poppies never made it through. Patches that were orange a week ago, are now turning green, which indicate that the grasses are getting taller than the blooms and are beginning to overrun the poppies. If Grass Mountain is your primary viewing location, be sure to visit this beautiful area within the next 2 weeks. If you are interested in seeing other incredible varieties of wildflowers throughout the mountain read the April 4th Wildflower Update.
