On Saturday I drove the hour or so south to visit my parents in beautiful northern San Diego county.  On Sunday we took a walk up a fire road into the hills east of where they live...  the flowers are amazing right now in this area.  We saw California Poppies, Bush Monkeyflower, Wild Pea, Arizona Lupine, White Shooting Stars, Phacelia, Blue Dicks, Canterbury Bells, Fiddleneck, Wild Mustard, primroses, sunflowers, and a few others.  Even just driving up I-15 between Escondido and Corona one will see many impressive wildflower displays.  It's definitely a beautiful time to be in Southern California :)
