Natural History Wanderings

Anza- Borrego Desert Natural History Association has a new wildflower report for January 18, 2014.

Arroyo Seco del Diablo in the southern part of Anza-Borrego.   Flowers to be found, even in this very dry time. ..deep and narrow canyon, with slots in many of the forks.  They report that the best route is to exit Palm Spring and drive Vallecito Wash.  They say that the Great overland route looks good on the map but there is deep sand in one section and they barely made it through with AWD. Flowers in bloom included Flat topped buckwheat, Eriogonum deflexum var. deflexum and Narrow-Leaf Cryptantha Cryptantha angustifolia.
