Natural History Wanderings

DesertUSA  has the following wildflower report for Anza Borrego Desert State Park in California

On 1/27/16, we took a quick trip to the park to see what was happening with the wildflowers so far this year. We checked Henderson Canyon Rd., Coyote Canyon and Fish Creek. It’s still early; there weren’t many wildflowers.

On Henderson Canyon Road we didn’t find much, just a few buds here and there. We drove over to Coyote Canyon where the ocotillo was very green, and some even had a few flowers. We stopped a little past the first crossing, and found there was water running in the creek. We couldn’t find much in wildflowers in that area, though we did find creosote bushes with flowers and seedpods.
