2003: A Season of California Wildflowers - the Western Mojave Desert
My wife and I started the year in Long Beach, where we discovered such new wildflowers as Bush Sunflower and Giant Coreopsis and Sea Dahlias. Meanwhile, winter was dropping just the right amount of moisture on places that would respond with explosions of rainbows. We had no idea the carnival of colors, or new species of wildflowers that lurked in our future. As it turned out, 2003 was one bodacious year for wildflowers in California, and we were knee deep in it and sinking fast.

Larkspurs
I was paging through a field guide the other day and some dried leaves fell out. They were larkspur leaves, from species I came across last spring in California.

Photos and Field Guides Don't Guarantee Easy I.D.
Photographing wildflowers has taken on more significance since I moved to California. With so many new things to see, I don't want to spend too much time hovering over each and every flower, and I can be a world-class hoverer. Instead, I photograph them and move on, leaving identification for later, when I can sit with a field guide, some photos and perhaps a cup of coffee.
