Today's Flowers, Mellow Yellow / Iceland Poppies, Indio, California USA

 Click on photo to enlarge!
 It was a beautiful sunny day and perfect for an afternoon drive out to the desert.
I found these Iceland Poppies in the desert region of Indio, California which is in the heart of the Coachella Valley.

Carolyn, you have GOT to call me when you are in the desert sometime! Email me and I'll send you my cell phone number! Isn't it gorgeous out here right now? 80 degrees today!

Wonderful desert in bloom picture -- nothing quite like it.

Did you stop for a date milkshake? (from the sublime to the slightly ridiculous, I know.)

Carolyn, the blooms are beautiful but I really like the soft blurry effect.

Lovely soft colour of the petals that almost have a translucent look about them

Like Judy, I like the blurry effect it makes the poppies dignified.
