Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve

This year should be an explosion of color for desert wildflowers. With the snow in December, and the rains in February, the stage is set for a spectacular season.

Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve, just 15 miles away from Lancaster in Southern California, is known for displaying an ocean of color when the time is right.

I think the time is going to be right this year. The bloom is usually between mid-March and mid-May. The duration of the bloom varies from year to year.

The Reserve's website will have up-to-date information regarding the bloom. I sure would like to buzz down there for a couple of days to see it. I'd love to take my camera!
