Natural History Wanderings

Antelope Valley State California Poppy Reserve SNR just posted the following wildflower report on their website:

Wildflower Bloom Status: 5/10/12
This year just isn’t a good one for wildflowers. We had very dry winter with few plants germinating, and the few that appeared after our late rainstorms won’t make it long now that summer has hit.  There are a few spread out along the south Poppy Loop trail, and there are a couple healthy patches of poppies along the upper Antelope Vista Butte Trail loop, and a few other wildflowers are here and there along the trails such as fiddleneck, filaree, grape soda lupine and others.
