The wildflower bloom was still going strong in Death Valley last week, in both density and variety. In the last shot for example, you can see Desert Gold (Geraea canescens) and Caltha-leaf Phacelia (Phacelia calthifolia) , with Brown-Eyed Evening Primrose (Camissonia claviformis) and white Gravel Ghost (Atrichoseris platyphylla). You can see some pink Purple Mat (Nama demissum) in there as well.
I'm gradually adding to my album of Death Valley spring shots: https://plus.google.com/photos/107459220492917008623/albums/5831194499079947137

Va många fina bilder där.
Wow!
Alive and well in "Death" Valley! Great photos, Jeff!
So far so good +Shirlee Severs , can't wait to see how the wildflowers develop uphill in the coming weeks!
+Jeff Sullivan wow meaning while here in Sunyani, everywhere is dry
Checked out your Death Valley album. Used to live in Vegas. You did a sensational job capturing the stark Ness and the beauty of Death Valley. Amazing how the desert changes by the minute. Great work comparing the tiniest flowers with the quarter. Most people miss them entirely. Thanks for identifying some of t he flowers, a nice touch. Is there anything on earth as breathtaking as watching the desert come alive after a rain!
Beautiful album!
Great album! I didn't know that there are so many flowers.
+Claudia Burs It's crazy how dense they are, then when you look closer, how diverse!
+Kathleen Peterson Thanks! I have a broader album of Death Valley landscapes (https://goo.gl/photos/uDfQW1DSrv9mxLCb9), so I'm focusing on the wildflowers photos first from last week's captures.
+Jeff Sullivan Good night
I promise to enjoy every one!
It's very Alive for sure. Beautiful pics. Thanks again Jeff.
Amazing stuff
