Natural History Wanderings

Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve SNR reports on February 5, 2016

Many of the poppy plants that germinated earlier in the season were lost to recent freezes, but we are still expecting El Nino rains so it is still to early to determine the extent of the bloom this spring.

Filaree is starting to bloom, some poppy plants are starting to push up their first buds, and other wildflower plants are just starting to germinate.
