It seems to me I heard somewhere that BruceB wrote in article

Is it too late to catch desert bloom this year? If not, where is the best
place to go for bloom this time of year.

There's a lot of stuff blooming in Arizona through June at least. We were
in Sedona last June, and the cacti had flowers all over.

Don't look for much pretty desert in California.

Except for the acres and acres of California poppies in the Antelope
Valley California Poppy Reserve
[http://www.parks.ca.gov/default.asp?page_id=627], the yuccas and Joshua
trees throughout the deserts, and the several desert sites described at
http://www.desertusa.com/wildflo/ca.html. A (not very technically good)
picture of the AVCPR poppy fields is at
http://www.lnholt.com/wildflowers/, which also describes a number of
other viewing sites in Southern California.
