Last weekend, visitors walking through Anza-Borrego Desert State Park and nearby areas found tall, bright sunflowers, deep pink desert sand-verbena, basket evening primrose and even elusive desert lilies, which thrilled photographers like myself. The go-to location for seeing wildflowers in the area is Henderson Canyon Road, just northeast of the town of Borrego Springs, and it did not disappoint. Desert sand-verbena grows in the area around Henderson Canyon Road in Borrego Springs. We did see some desert lilies off Henderson Canyon Road, but none in bloom, so we headed farther east. A desert lily grows on a small hillside just above a dry creek wash in Borrego Springs.
