If you missed the Death Valley "super bloom", don't worry, many other areas in the state are starting to bloom now. The Los Padres National Forest recently recommended Figueroa Mountain Recreation Area, located north of Santa Barbara, above the Santa Ynez Valley and the town of Los Olivos. Here are some photos from the mountain, along with directions on how to get there:

Beautiful!! Thank you for sharing this album. I haven't been able to get out much, to go exploring.
+Shirlee Severs I was able to get permission to post the full wildflower report, so I made an expanded post with more photos:

Also blooming now not far from there is Carrizo Plain National Monument. From there, wildflowers could be visited at Gorman, the California Poppy Preserve in Antelope Valley, then the Ridgecrest area, where wildflowers are blooming from Inyokern (Short Canyon) all the way up past Owens Lake, and in the Alabama Hills by Lone Pine as well. I'll probably visit much of that this week.
Thank you, Jeff.
