Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve SNR just posted a new wildflower update

Its been a dry winter so far, and not a lot of poppy plants have germinated.The hills are currently tinged green with the beginnings of grasses, and a handfull of fiddleneck, slender-keeled fruit, silver puffs, goldfields, filaree, Mojave suncups, forget-me-nots, and grape soda lupine are starting to bloom here and there. Small patches of poppies are starting to bloom,
