This winter we had some pretty good rains. That means it's wildflower season, perhaps the most amazing time to be out in the desert. On Sunday we went out to check out the wildflowers over by Picture Rocks pass as on previous years we had success in finding large stands of Gold Poppy and Lupine. We were not disappointed as the photo shows. Hard to believe this was taken in the desert, isn't it?
From what I've read the wildflowers are near their peak and it should start tapering off a bit, so you should head on out and find a few for yourself. If you want to check out the flowers at Picture Rocks, just head out west on Ina Rd, take a left onto Wade Rd (after the last light) and follow it over the pass to the parking lot that'll be on your right. The best flowers are on the south side of the road, and if you walk back up the pass you'll find some good stands of Lupine, too.
