Mojave National Preserve
Where the Wildflowers Are
 

In spring and early summer, this list is updated weekly with wildflower observations by both National Park Service staff and visitors. We need your help! If you would like to contribute to this valuable service, please email us with your wildflower sightings. Be sure to let us know what you saw (common name and/or scientific name), where you saw it (nearby roads, mile markers, landmarks, etc.), when you saw it, and any other information you feel might be useful to others. You may wish to use our wildflower observation form as part of your reporting. We'll include your observations in the next weeks' report.

Now, on with the list!

 
It's HOT! Weekly wildflower observations have been discontinued for spring/summer 2009. Check back again in spring 2010!

Did You Know?
The railroad town of Kelso in Mojave National Preserve was named in 1905 by railroad construction workers. Two men placed their names in a hat, along with that of a third who had just moved away. The name drawn from the hat was that of John H. Kelso, the man absent from the drawing.
