The Los Angeles Times highlights four of its famous deserts and the beautiful and rare blooms that have been bringing in wildflower tourists like mad this month.
Ecotravel News wrote a previous post about this spring being a peak year for western desert wildflower viewing, because of the very rainy winter.
The Times article says it's almost past peak viewing in the Anza-Borrego Desert, Death Valley and Joshua Tree parks but the orange state flower - California Poppy - is just beginning to carpet the Antelope Valley. For arm-chair desert wildflower viewers, the article has a wonderful photo slide-show and links to real-time desert flowers.
