Wildflowers At 70 MPH: New Mexico
With the spirit of Jack Kerouac never far from the surface, my wife and I jumped all over the opportunity to return to California. Across the bottom of Mississippi, up through Louisiana and into Texas, highways were lined with sunflowers, varieties of goldenrod, Mistflower, and golden asters. And once we got into Oklahoma the most abundant wildflower was Maximilian Sunflower, a gorgeous species top heavy with blossoms. Such variety and abundance surprised me. After such bounty, I thought, New Mexico would surely be a barren, dusty landscape. After all, it was October. What else could possibly be blooming? Lots. Lots and lots.
