I received this information at work today and thought some of you might want
to catch the "Best Damn Desert Show" in California. Who knows when the next
time the desert will bloom like this. The residents of L.A. & San Diego
might have to move to the desert if they get this much water next year. Tim 

" We have received over 12 inches of rain YTD in Borrego Springs.  The
Anza-Borrego Desert is absolutely covered in flowers and it looks like the
season will extended longer than normal.  If you can get down here anytime
in March you will have a great chance of catching a glimpse of the best
flower year in a decade.  We have been adding flower pictures to our
web-site.  Borrego Palm Canyon has been flowing with water since the flash
floods in September.  This is the year to visit Anza-Borrego. 
Here is the site for the flowers.
