Just a quick heads-up that the bloom has started, and looks like it
could be a good one:

[ignore title: this is the 2005 report]

Lots of "green fur" and scattered flowers in the Tucson & Silverbell
Mtns. Pretty good poppies & lupines just starting along the Pinal
Pioneer Parkway (Tucson to Florence highway), plus lots of green fur.
BIG mallows just starting near Florence Jct. All seen in the last 2 or 3
days (Jan 26-28).
