Natural History Wanderings

DesertUSA has the following March 3rd wildflower update for Landers/Giant Rock  area:

the bloom is progressing nicely. There is a lot more of most of the wildflowers I’ve reported the past couple weeks, and the green is covering a much larger area. The highlight of my day was finding Mojave lupine, which I have seen only once before (2003, in Red Rock Canyon, Kern Co.). Other new wildflowers were a few Joshua trees, Desert tobacco, Creosote bush, and a Phacelia and Camissonia sp.
