Description
I was one of the thousands to visit the Arizona Picacho Peak State Park, as wildflowers burst onto the scene. Especially the Mexican gold poppies, the comeback kid has made its triumphant return. The wildflower season of 2019, is exploding!
At Picacho Peak State Park, one can explore the mountainside blossoms of bright Mexican gold poppies, purple lupine, desert globemallow, and yellow brittlebush. I will be sharing that day. This year was an overcast day, with the sun peeking out ever so often for brief moments. Truly is "Poppies Pageantry!"

Hello dear Debby! What a pleasure to have you visit my gallery and share your beautiful thoughts about my artwork. I hope you are doing well. The Mexican Gold Poppy is a close relative to the California Poppies, but are smaller, blooming in more yellows than oranges. This state park is famous for its wildflowers, these poppies in particular. I am delighted that you like this and feel it's beautiful. Thank you for that. I appreciate you choosing this as one of your favorites and sharing it on Pinterest. I look forward to you sharing the California Poppies in your neck of the woods. Janet ๐
