Been watching this for quite a while now. When we first moved to Las Vegas, I started collecting shots of wildflowers from around the desert here. Kind of reminds me of that. Got them stashed on the hard drive somewhere.
Doesn’t the desert have an unexpected bloom of wildflowers every once in a while (annually? Once in a decade?) Help me out here. My memory’s willing but weak and I’ve apparently used up Google’s patience for the day. I’d love to see those flowers, if only I could figure out the timing.
Sure, there are the super blooms, then just the regular flowers that come back every year, regardless of water. This year it’s been pretty wet and we’ve had a lot. However, I haven’t been anywhere to see them except Furnace Creek in Death Valley for a star party in February and that was about a month too early. All we saw was yellow and not all that much. An occasional red or orange something but never stopped for a close look. They lined the road in scattered spots from Pahrump to the Valley and along the road from Furnace Creek to Badwater.
