The wild flowers are blooming all over the South West Desert.

We came across these beautiful wild flowers over the weekend at Mojave Lake 9 miles east of Searchlight Nevada.

Mojave Lake is just south of the Hoover Dam/ Lake Mead and is formed by the Davis Dam just south and is approximately 45 miles south east of Las Vegas.

It is a beautiful area and a little more laid back and more quiet then Lake Mead.

I wasn't aware that there were so many wild flowers in the desert and this is just the first batch. There will be many more different flowers through out the months.

Lovely. My mother-in-law lives in Arizona and I always hope that the flowers will be blooming when we travel to visit her. Thank you for the variety of photos

Robert, thanks for sharing. This brought back some fond memories of when I lived in Southwest Texas. It shows you can find beauty even in an area that appears to be arid.

Robert, Isn't it amazing what the desert has to offer. That last flower is the prettiest though.
