Local wildflowers back in 2003. Will this year be as good? Photo by Jane Gates

It’s the beginning of the California wildflower season and with the generous rains nature kindly donated to Southern California, the flowers ought to be spectacular this  year.  Here is a little informal video of an expedition I just made into the wilds in the hills behind my house at about 2000 feet of elevation in the inland chaparral just north of Los Angeles.  The first of the spring wildflowers are starting to carpet the hillsides. Here’s a look at some of our first California chaparral wildflowers for the spring.
