Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve SNR  reports

As of March 4th, poppy plants are still only sprouts with a few buds, but the rain this weekend will give them a better chance of surviving to flower. The only flower currently blooming is the grape soda lupine at the top of Tehachapi Vista Point trail. It won’t be a great bloom this year, but the bloom forecast is looking better and we should start seeing more flowers in the next week or two.
