| This site features photographs and descriptions
of the wildflowers of Tucson and Pima County, Arizona, USA. Currently,
there are 355
different species of Tucson, Arizona wildflowers and other plants in
this collection. Tucson has a wide variety of flowering plants due to
its climate, topography, varied habitats, and its location in the biologically
diverse Sonoran Desert. Wildflowers can be observed here almost all year-round,
but they are the most numerous after our winter and summer rainy seasons.
The best times to see wildflowers here in southern Arizona and the Sonoran
Desert are in March through May and in late July through early September.
Early spring wildflowers begin blooming here in late February, and autumn
wildflowers bloom here in October. |
