Open Image ModalTEHACHAPI, CA - MARCH 4: Wildflowers bloom near California State Route 223 on March 4, 2016 west of Tehachapi, California.

After a brief period of heavy rain in January, Southern California experienced one of the hottest Februarys ever recorded, prompting early scenic wildflower blooms in several desert and foothill regions.
