WHERE'S THE WILDFLOWERS?

f i had a dollar for every time a car pulls up, a window rolls down and someone asks just that.
"if they were up your ass you'd know where they were, wouldn't you?" tempting, but naww...im a gentle soul. give me another week.

wildflower season has officially hit borrego springs proper. lupines, dune primroses, tackstems, buckwheats, spectacle pods, sand verbenas, desert dandelions...aaarrgh!!!
and with them come hordes of looky-loos from the coast. a deluge of 4 door sedans crammed with temporary desert
aficionados whose traits include failing to yield at yield signs, stopping to read maps at yield signs and parking in the middle of a highway and pointing cameras where there's an impressive flower display. but they spend money and that makes it ok with me.....

funny you say that dan- i saw some films of where they think whats-his-name is hiding out, and the terrain looked nothing like i thought it would. kinda pinyon chapparal landscape. like up the hill from here or perhaps going up towards the catalinas back in your old home town...

We picked poppies last weekend. No opium though, Mrs. Sepulveda just likes to make bouquets for her fathers grave. Lupines and golden poppies were his favorite.

Where have all the flowers gone?

I guess the desert will be all bland and boring when I get there Saturday.
