Desert Flowers

Because it has been so dry, we were not very optimistic about seeing flowers.  But we were pleasantly surprised.  We saw them in Lake Havasu, particularly ocotillo, greasewood, and a few cactuses, and in Death Valley.  We had gone to a talk about Death Valley and the ranger told us that there were plenty of flowers.  We did not see many at first, but Monday as we were leaving the park, we came upon a number of beautiful yellow, white and red flowers.
