[pct-l] Flowers (was adapting to heat)

>From what I could tell, we got lucky with flowers in 2003.  In all my prep 
work for the PCT, I hadn't heard more than a few passing remarks about the 
desert flowers.  I was so surprised at the display, I did ask a few of the 
locals about it when I got to towns.  Even the locals were in awe.  
Apparently there was a lot of March precip which just made the desert 
blossom.

I ended up taking  lots of flower pictures...

Beautiful!
