Wildflowers

Every year we see a few wildflowers in the desert. SOME years, when the winter rains have moistened the soil enough and the long-dormant seeds germinate in huge numbers, we are lucky enough to see a riot of colors as the desert erupts with a springtime carpet of wild flowers. When one of those years arrives, do not tarry...grab your camera, put on your hiking shoes and see a glorious display of color.

Here are a few of the flowers that may be seen in and around the McDowell Park.
