Just north of Cathedral City the hillsides show splashes of color. The blooming flowers pictured here are mostly Desert sand verbena, but other varieties can be found too. Edom Hill is located just north of Interstate 10 off Varner Road near Thousand Palms and the wildflowers can be seen for several miles along Varner Road.

Wildflowers bloom near Carrizo Plain National Monument following an unusually wet winter on April 13, 2023 near Santa Margarita, California. Historic levels of rainfall fell in some parts of California, amid a barrage of atmospheric river winter storms, which has led to a ‘superbloom’ of wildflowers in certain parts of the state this spring.
