Is it too late to catch desert bloom this year?

In the low desert areas near Phoenix it was peak the first two weeks of
March, then we had two days with temperatures in the high 80's and many
flowers dried out. Still blooming but past peak.

If not, where is the best
place to go for bloom this time of year.


Phoenix is around 1,000 ft above sea level ... I'd guess places 2,000 -
4,000 ft would be peaking later? I doubt the California Poppy Preserve
areas have approached peak yet, for example, though I could be wrong.
Anyone know?
