Huge Desert Lily bloom!
he media keeps talking about a desert wildflower “superbloom,” which is all well and fine, however, we can see that superbloom and raise ‘em! We have a Desert Lily superbloom going on east of Twentynine Palms RIGHT NOW! (Well, maybe right now, depending on when you’re actually reading this paper.) The first week or two of April, however, should be excellent times to head east on ol’ Route 62 to not only enjoy the proliferation of wildflowers like the dune primrose, desert star, and desert verbena, but to also enjoy a massive Desert Lily superbloom that’s taking place from the east end of Wonder Valley out past Ironage Road. Send your Desert Lily and wildflower photos to us at tortoisetelegraph@gmail.com and you might get a prize!
