    It's interesting how this year seems to be awesome for the coastal wildflowers and awful for the inland ones... headscratch.gif

    Yeah, its kinda funny the way the blooms turned out being great in some places and not so much in others. I heard that Merced Canyon had a great year as well for poppies. But places like the Carizzo Plain and Poppy Reserve weren't so hot. The good part about this year is that the areas closer to the coast and home for me are lookin' good. I'm used to driving all over kindom come for the blooms. :D
