Don't look for much pretty desert in California.

Visitors to the Carrizo Plain, Death Valley, Anza-Borrego, etc.
will disagree with you about that. And I've been seeing reports
from people who say this is the best year they've ever seen.

This page:

http://www.nps.gov/deva/FrameSet-Wildflower.htm

has a link to a PDF file with the latest update. (The last one
was done on Saturday.)

Here's the main page for Anza-Borrego Desert SP:

And for Carrizo Plain NM:

(I swear there used to be a really good wildflower update
page for Carrizo, but I can't find it now. The main wildflower
page is at http://www.ca.blm.gov/caso/wildflowers.html.)
