Natural History Wanderings

Anza-Borrego Desert Natural History Association has a new report for April 15, 2013

While many flowers have faded or blown away recently, there are still blooms to be found if you go looking. The Honey Mesquite is in bloom near Tamarisk Grove. Between there and Mine Wash is a sea of red Ocotillo flowers, plus quite a few agave flower spikes. Most of the agave do not yet have flowers open.

At the Mine Wash village site, ocotillo, desert lavender, chuparosa, and various cactus (beavertail, prickly pear, cholla) are in bloom here and there, with agave flower spikes visible in the distance
