Just south of the city of Riverside, near Corona, there are maybe in the range of a hundred cars pulled off the freeway with the people wandering up and down fields of poppies and other wildflowers. Selfies and family photos being clicked everywhere. Quite the sight! From the ranch, we can see poppies in every direction spilling down the hills. I guess I should be enjoying it, but after weedwacking for a week now, all I can think about is 'firefuel'. The flowers are pretty, tho.
the photos in the article are AP, so, sorry but you’ll have to go to the link to view them.
Stuff grows like mad in California, once it gets some water, as California has, maybe, the most fertile soil in the world.
...and that’s why the Left is diverting most of it.

Worked at Edwards AFB (Flight Test) for some years even more years ago.
The the post-rain desert was beyond description.
Sacto hurrying to find a way to tax that.
There goes that evil globull warming.
Grew up in Palmdale - ‘62-’75. Saw all that beauty so many times! Now the miles and miles of desert behind my house is homes and strip malls.
Seeds dormant for decades under the desert floor
The High Desert was in Full Bloom about 7-10 years ago, the same year it Snowed in Havasu,Bullhead City and Laughlin. I fly over it all the time.
I was born in the high desert. Proud to say <3
Those flowers will attract billions of butterflies, so you motorists driving through the area will be cleaning your windshields.
Should make for a spectacular fire season this 5.
Getting real green here in the high desert of AZ.
Cant wait till the goatheads start poppin.
