Natural History Wanderings

Anza-Borrego Desert Natural History Association has  wildflower reports for November 26 and 27,2013:

November 27, 2013  Today we hiked Oyster wash and took a wash to the right.  We found that wash last year by accident.  Next we hiked over the saddle and along the cliff of Fish wash.  Steep with very nice views.  Really nice flowers for this time of year. Flowers in bloom include

• California Fagonia  Fagonia laevis
• Climbing Milkweed  Sarcostemma cynanchoides
• Trailing Windmills  Allonia incarnata
• Desert Hibiscus  Hibiscus denudatus

November 26, 2013 Today we hiked two forks of Plum Canyon as a loop. The hike was great and the flowers were better than expected. Blooms include

• Wire Lettuce Stephanomeria pauciflora
• Ground Cherry  Physalis crassifolia
• Desert Trumpet Erigonum inflatum
