#Repost @losangelesresidenttourist with @get_repost ・・・ Spring . Hope we got enough rain for the lupines to come back in force, like they did last year after the Towsley fire. . Do fire-followers do repeat business the second year, or do they peter out? We had so many fires last year, there's a bunch of open spaces we'll need to check for wildflowers. But if we don't get any more rain, results will be skimpy... They're already predicting a bad year at the Antelope Valley Poppy Reserve. We'll see. Pro tips: . . - Watch this space for confirmed locations where poppies will be blooming, even when the Reserve is bare. Hint: They tend to be in higher elevations, i.e. foothills north and south of the valley floor, tucked into arroyos and canyons that face away from the sun and retain water, and along roadsides leading out of the mountains etc. . - No offense to the Poppy Reserve, but *never* go by their website wildflower report, their "hotline"or their Facebook wildflower updates. They are horribly inaccurate. Always. You don't want to drive all the way there for a couple of specks of orange and a lot of what looks like gray 'weeds.' Go by what visitors are saying on social media, not the website! (Sorry.) The Theodore Payne Foundation is one of the most reliable sources of native plant information, and they publish poppy reports, too. Bookmark / follow them, they're awesome. . - Stay tuned as well for tips (here) on telling lupines apart from poodle dog bush, which is also purple and follows fires... nasty nasty toxic stuff, you dont even want to breathe around it. And there's sure to be plenty on burned hillsides where visitors are destined to frolic this spring. . - Will be providing additional wildflower tips on this feed for blooms within the city and county of LA, so you won't necessarily need to go on a road trip to see them. . - Got any flower tips? Would be delighted to share and tag your photos, too. . . . #thingstodoinla #tour #hiking #nature #wildflower #nativeplants #botanical #lupine #trails #pct #towsley #canyon #santaclarita #spring #LosAngeles #fire #flowers #poppies #outdoors #photography #antelopevalley #poppyreserve #theodorepayne
