There is presently a 30 year bloom happening in Alpine forests in Northern California

Flowers you might not have seen for 30 years are blooming because of all the rain (and snow) late into May this year which is unusual in itself. Though I wasn't rained on personally, I saw the rain coming down in Mt. Shasta and Dunsmuir at a distance and the accompanying rainbow that direction too as we limped in with the rock damaged rear tire back into mt. Shasta yesterday. So, if you want to be amazed by the Alpine Wildflowers 30 year bloom, now is the perfect time to see it whether it is the Sweet peas in fields all over the place around the City of Mt. Shasta or on the way to lake Siskiyou or whether it is Larkspurs or other wonderful wildflowers at 4000 to 6000 feet or the very fragrant Mountain Azaleas or the Venus Fly trap type of high altitude flowers or the Tiger Lilies, they are all out in bloom right now. So, if you want to see all these things in the high country likely of the Sierras and definitely around Mt. Shasta and the Trinity Alps and the Cascades, now is the time while they are all still in bloom. The white ones on the left top are the ones out right now here in the Mt. Shasta area in the high country. (Mountain Azaleas). They are very fragrant too.
