Natural History Wanderings

Although the show of annual wildflowers is over, shrubs, trees, and a few cacti are still blooming at the Visitor Center. Palo Verde trees and spiny desert senna are blooming with abundant yellow flowers. Ocotillo are still looking great in many locations! Check out Blair Valley and Little Blair Valley, on highway S-2, for yucca and agave. Higher-elevation Culp Valley may still have annual flowers in bloom.
