Annual Poppy Display in the North Ranch Open Space, Thousand Oaks, on March 16, 2019

Poppies NROS 3.16.19 2.JPG

Superbloom or no superbloom, this beautiful poppy patch off the Bowfield/Saddle Pass Trail in the North Ranch Open Space in Thousand Oaks has been blooming this time of year for years. The hills to get up here are not for everyone e.g. they are steep - but to me are worth it for this view orange beauty.

This annual display of beautiful, bright, orange California Poppies in the North Ranch Open Space is not particularly well seen from the city streets below and does not match the size of some of the massive Southern California wildflower displays in other areas, but is a pleasant destination in the Conejo Open Space, The trails to get here are a bit steep, so be aware.
