     Yes, it's just the right time of year.  We got lucky with the moisture.  
We had a sizable rain event in December, but then nothing of consequence until 
January.  Since then we've had a number of rain events.  So, we're getting a 
bit of a flower show this year and if this trip is an indicator I should have a 
couple more trips coming up.

     The ideal situation is a significant regional rain event of an inch or 
more from early November to mid December, then a period of weeks with cold 
nights and warm days.  Then a series of lesser rain events about a week or two 
apart into late February.  That doesn't happen very often, even less often with 
this ongoing climate change.
