Host Martin Hale welcomes viewers to the beautiful Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve, which is located 15 miles west of Lancaster in the western Mojave Desert, and is the state's most consistent poppy-bearing land. First we meet one of the original founders, 97-year-old Dorothy Bolt, who proudly reminisces about the beginnings of what is now a popular State Natural Reserve; we learn the story of Jane Pinheiro, whose dedication and hard work made her dream for a Poppy Park come true; we meet docents Grentch Winfrey and Mary Wilson who explain PRIA, Poppy Reserve Interpretive Association, and PR/MDIA, the Poppy Reserve Mohave Desert Interpretive Association; then Martin guides us through the park to view the following flora: "California Poppy"; "Owl's Clover"; "Goldfields"; "Cream Cups"; "Red Maids"; "Fiddleneck"; "Pygmy-Leaved Lupine"; "Blue Dick"; "Lacy Phacelia"; "Davy Gilia."
