It is unfortunate that large portions of the wildflower fields in the Antelope Valley are being developed. Although solar energy is clean, it completely destroys the flower fields, as one can see in this photograph. The most productive wildflower fields are connected to the Poppy Reserve; these large tracts of land are up for sale. Sadly, California has no plans to purchase this land, which is home to some of the most abundant poppy fields in the state.
