Description
February showers make March wildflowers in the desert parks and create yet another reason to explore this beautiful state! 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! A close relative of the California poppy, the Mexican gold poppy is smaller and more drought tolerant than its relative. It also tends to bloom in more yellows than oranges..
Picacho Peak State Park, is hands down, one of the best spots to see blooming wildflowers in Arizona, with bushels of incredible golden blooms of Mexican gold poppies. This year was an overcast day, with the sun peeking out ever so often for brief moments. Lending to one of those brief moments, these "Sun-kissed Poppies!"
Far from being a desolate, barren land, the Sonoran Desert has a rich abundance of life. Inviting you to come and explore the desert, and discover some of its beauty. The contrast of vibrant flowers against the backdrop of green is a sight to behold. So with paintbrush and palette in hand (my camera), I am sharing the rich colors of these Mexican gold poppies.
