May 9, 2012 Sallie reports: On May 4th my friend Patty and I photographed wildflowers in the Delamar Mountains (Nevada). Many cacti had buds, but no blossoms yet. Flowers were not plentiful; however we did find these. The photos were taken with a handheld Canon G11.

Apr 9, 2012 Rick and Margarita report: Kinda dismal year for wildflowers around Lake Mead. There are some along Lake Shore Drive going from Henderson to Valley of Fire State Park. Most are already past their peak. Some cactus may be ready to start blooming. This is about the time of year when they start. Found these blooms in Valley of Fire State Park last Wednesday.

We have an online wildflower field guide that is designed to help you identify desert wildflowers by color, scientific name, region and common name. The pictures are sized to work on the iPod, iPhone. iPad and similar devices. With your iPod or phone you will easily be able to identify wildflowers while in the desert. Links for downloads are on the bottom of the Wildflower Field Guide page.

Photos tips: Most digital point-and-shoot cameras have a macro function - usually symbolized by the icon of a little flower. When you turn on that function, you allow your camera to get closer to the subject, looking into a flower for example. Or getting up close and personal with a bug. More on desert photography.
