Most of these desert wildflower photos and desert plant images were captured in the scrub and chaparral of the Mojave Desert of Southern California along the northern foothills of the San Bernardino Mountains in Summit Valley (aka Horsethief Canyon), Hesperia and Silverwood Lake State Recreation Area. Poppy photos were taken in the Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve. The Joshua Tree, Mojave Mound Cactus, Pencil Cholla, Ocotillo and Teddy Bear Cholla were all photographed in Joshua Tree National Park.
