After a wet winter season in California, spring is on the horizon and with it comes the blooming of wildflowers.

For those looking to see the Golden State’s beautiful blooms in person, The Theodore Payne Wildflower Hotline, a dedicated hotline for all things flowers, will start on March 8.

The hotline, founded in 1983, offers free weekly online and recorded updates. All new updates will be posted on Fridays.
