Joshua Tree National Park – March 8, 2011

Posted on March 15, 2011 by admin

A field of golden poppies, brown-eyed primroses, and chia is on display along the western side of the road at the southern boundary of the park. Please park carefully in designated places to enjoy the flowers. Wildflowers, especially poppies, close up at night then open again when the sun is high the next day. A stretch of desert that looks barren of wildflowers at 9 am may be quite colorful by noon.

    Did I miss the main display of wildflowers at Joshua Tree NP??? Or is there still time to see the peak season? I am hoping with all the rain, it would delay the peak season. I want to photograph…please let me know.
    thanks!!!!!
