Wildflower Update 2012
|
February 7, 2012 So far, the winter season of 2011/2012 has been very dry in Death Valley National Park. The lack of rainfall has prevented wildflower seeds from sprouting, which will likely result in an extremely limited wildflower bloom this spring. If weather conditions persist, we expect to find only a few flowering shrubs and perennials to bloom in washes and canyons. |

Telescope Peak in Death Valley National Park was named by Dr. Samuel George in 1861. After climbing the 11,049 foot peak, Dr. George said that he could see so far that it reminded him of looking through a telescope.
