The spring wildflower show on Figueroa Mountain is stunning this year. In previous years of our long, long drought in Southern California, Figueroa Mountain wildflowers went off early, before spring, with little to show\u2014at least for us flower fans hoping to see fields of colorful wildflowers.<\/p>\n
This year on the slopes of Figueroa Mountain, \u201cEarth laughs in flowers,\u201d as the great Ralph Waldo Emerson put it.<\/p>\n
The laugh-out-loud flowers on the mountain are the poppies. They\u2019re here, there, and everywhere along Figueroa Mountain Road and the blanket of orange on Grass Mountain is simply stunning.<\/p>\n
