California Poppies (Eschscholzia californica) in bloom - Mormon Point
Rare wildflowers bloom in the short spring season inside Death Valley National Park. The lowest point in North America, Badwater Basin (282ft below sea level) is in the background. This place also holds the record for the hottest temperature on record in the United States at 132F. It is very hot year round with temperatures of 120F being the norm rather than the exception. Yet life does find a way to flourish in this forbidding landscape.
