A few California poppies remain is seen on Friday March 2015 at the Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve in Lancaster, California. The state parks department says the reserve had the densest native poppy germination anyone had seen in a decade. Then came an unseasonal heat wave last week. The agency says it all but "cooked away" the poppies, turning those on the south slope into shriveled orange petals before they had a chance to go to seed. (Photo by Ringo Chiu/PHOTOFORMULA.com)
