An El Niño weather pattern, or weather season, is a specific phenomenon defined by meteorological organizations. For the American deserts, an El Niño year will bring rare rains across the landscapes from the moisture picked up in the Pacific Ocean—rains that can lead to a super-bloom with profusions of wildflowers. This is mainly associated with a rise in ocean temperatures of a half degree or so. The El Niño concept is very important to my second autobiography, where indeed several of the chapters have the words “El Niño” in their names. All the flowers in this montage have previously been described except for the very common Fiddleneck (Amsinckia tessellata), which gets its name from the curved stems resembling the scroll of a violin, and the much less common Bristly Gilia that is related to sunbonnets in the Phlox Family.
