  • Bees and insects of different species, sizes and shapes will be found during the spring and summer seasons surrounding the wildlife. Pictured in this photo is a bee trying to pollinate an African Daisy.

  • The flowers that are being added to California are disturbing residents’ allergies as well. 26% of adults will experience or be diagnosed with hay fever throughout their life.

  • Black mustard flowers have invaded California’s native land because of the abundance of rain. The Black Mustard flowers are seen most commonly in the Los Angeles and San Diego areas.

  • Gloriosa daisies or “Black-eyed Susans” grow in groups and are most often found in climates that are 70 degrees Fahrenheit or higher. These summer flowers are now in abundance due to Carlsbad’s warming weather.

  • Muscari flowers or “Grape Hyacinth” are beautiful purple flowers that have an interesting feature. They’re edible “onion-like” plants that are native to southeast Europe.

  • What was previously darkened and barren land is now overwhelmed with greenery and bushes. Carlsbad’s protected land has become home to roughly 56 native plant species.

  • Due to California’s severe drought, seed pods from plants that have been buried underground are seeing water and rain for the first time in decades. In consequence, Californians are experiencing what is known as a “superbloom” of plants.
