I had been to Death valley a few times before, but you really noticed the influx of tourists because of all the flowers.

If you're anywhere near, the temps should be steady for a few more weeks and the blooms will still be there.

Been a few times...I find it an interesting place, but I'd never been during the super blooms.

It was on both of our bucket lists. Spectacular and worth the long drive. In addition to flowers, the plants are green. I'm glad I saw it.

I have some longer shots where you can see the flowers go on and on..but the effect is lost because the color isn't as bright.

Former NM resident. I love the yellow prickly pear flowers. I used to go hiking in a remote area where the canyon walls were covered with prickly pears in bloom. Ocotillo is my favorite.

A forest in West Virginia. Springtime here will bring an enormous variety and abundance of wildflowers.
