We'll be publishing bloom updates weekly during bloom. And in case you missed our first Bountiful Bloom update for 2025 you can [read it here](https://blog.bountiful.ag/february-17-2025-bloom-update).  Let's dive in!  ## 🌸 Bloom Update  February 18 - 24, 2025 Overall, we are at about peak bloom as of today, Feb 24th. Bloom looks to be progressing in inconsistent stages across all regions of the valley with the North and South showing more reports of petal fall and some varieties in the Central beginning petal fall. Warm temperatures and good weather the last couple of days have accelerated bloom. Consistent daily bloom observations have come from the Central region of the state followed by the South, then the North. You can see this below for the 2025 Almond Bloom showing the progression of bloom stages reported by day👇. ![Screenshot 2025-02-24 at 2.33.51 PM](https://blog.bountiful.ag/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-02-24%20at%202.33.51%20PM.png?width=886&height=757&name=Screenshot%202025-02-24%20at%202.33.51%20PM.png)   Bloom submissions received at Bountiful Bloom so far show the South leading in bloom progression stages, with reports of early bloom, full bloom, and petal fall, trailing behind is the North with reports of full bloom and petal fall, and finally the Central region mostly in full bloom. *📣 If you're in the South or North regions, we'd love your support with bloom observations to increase coverage in these areas. *  ![Screenshot 2025-02-24 at 2.34.57 PM](https://blog.bountiful.ag/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-02-24%20at%202.34.57%20PM.png?width=1683&height=884&name=Screenshot%202025-02-24%20at%202.34.57%20PM.png) [![Bountiful Bloom Button](https://blog.bountiful.ag/hs-fs/hubfs/Screen%20Shot%202023-02-17%20at%204.14.46%20PM.png?width=491&height=71&name=Screen%20Shot%202023-02-17%20at%204.14.46%20PM.png)](https://bountifulalmonds.com/) ## 🌡️🌧️ Weather ### A look at current temperature and precipitation trends   🌡️ Temperature  Temperature averages this year across the state have been about the same as this time last year.
