Desert Wildflowers
Some friends and I went out to the desert just north-east of San Diego yesterday to search for desert wildflowers. This is apparently the first time in 2 years that the wildflowers have started blooming in the desert. We first drove to Palm Springs where we had lunch and then headed further north. First we went to Pioneertown just to check it out. Then we drove through Joshua Tree national park heading south-east from the west entrance. In both the Pinto basin and towards the southern entrance Cottenwood we found some wildflowers. It was a strange sight in the desert. Last time I was here in November 2006 there were no flowers in sight. This time there were so many you could even smell them…aaaah 🙂
