Tom Fudge: If you didn't grow up in arid country, the beauty of the desert can be a little hard to see. But this time of year brings something that just about everyone can appreciate. I'm talking about the explosion of wildflowers in the desert. This spring promises to provide a better than usual array. After several years of drought, San Diego County has experienced some decent rains this winter.
If you want up-to-date information on where the wild flowers are, you can call the Wild Flower Hotline at 760-767-4684.
