Looks like a good year for flowers in the southwest. My sister just north of Tucson had snow a few days back. Drought Monitor puts most of Arizona with no drought at all.
lived for several years each in Montana, Utah, Idaho, Texas, Washington, Oregon.

My cousin in Oracle, AZ (NE of Tucson) reports two significant snow storms this season, enough to prompt the purchase of a snow shovel.

I wonder if she had to go to Show Low or Flagstaff to find a shovel? It is a cool spring this year.

It is possible she asked one of her daughters in Wisconsin to export one into Arizona.

I was just there a couple days ago and flowers are not yet started for the most part. We have seen large local blooms in the AZ desert today. My sister (retired as head of dept Botany in Riverside CA) ... responded to me forwarding the link ...as she thought I meant they were in full bloom now...sent a curt "Fake News"!! email to me. HA! What do I know?! Sure wish we could have struck around for a week but our psyche says roll on! We have a lot of ground to cover yet and we keep getting sidetracked!

Yes we have been there and loved it. Pre Covid we did a trip out to Tucson and rented a car to visit. Remarkable.

We've been here in BS for the past two months. Not a super bloom but tons of flowers none the less.
