BREAKING Antelope Valley Poppy News

Good news, poppy lovers. The folks at the Antelope Valley Poppy Reserve say they’re starting to see buds, which means flowers will bloom in just a few weeks. Because we’ve had so much rain, the poppy bloom is expected to be “moderate,” which should still make for some nice photos. Last year’s bloom was also moderate but still scenic. Here’s a map of the trails the public can walk. The season is expected to last through mid-April.
