The Anza-Borrego Desert State Park is 2 hours east of San Diego and is the largest State Park in California. Anza-Borrego is a desert and doesn't get much rain. During the summer, temps can reach up to 115 F. With the drought-busting rain storms we had for the last 3 months, the desert floor and valleys are exploding with wild flowers. Our last trip to Anza-Borrego to watch the wild flowers was in 2008. With lot of expectations, we got out there last Saturday!

Once in a decade, with heavy rains, these wild flower blooms happen and they last for just 2 weeks. Very soon, an army of very hungry caterpillars will attack and these flowers will be recycled!
