RV Lifestyle Story and photos by Rex Vogel Capturing the Moment Wildflowers Show Off Their Colour Everywhere we looked, we saw pops of colour. Yeah, spring in the desert! That why we love living the snowbird lifestyle in the American Southwest. As Canadian snowbirds, we enjoy spring in March and April in the sunbelt and again upon return to the Canadian West. It’s no secret that during the spring of 2019, Arizona experienced what may be the best wildflower bloom in two decades. Mexican poppies, purple lupine, brittlebush, scorpion weed and globemallows (among others) blanketed the desert as they put on a vivid and virtually unforgettable springtime display. The old saying goes “April showers bring May flowers,” but Arizona operates on its own timetable! March is peak wildflower season and, with the rain and snow during the winter, the desert is alive with colour. Wildflower season is upon us! Picacho Peak is arguably one of the best spots to see blooming wildflowers in Arizona, with bushels of incredible golden blooms around the base of the mountain and campgrounds.
