Here are some pictures from the Native Plants class with Mike Crouse which I was lucky enough to get to participate in this morning. We had the class in the desert surrounding Borrego Springs. We learned 75 plants and it will take all of my neurons to remember two or three next time I’m in the desert.
- Desert Lavendar
- Desert Dandelion
- Camissonia claviformis
- Cheesebush
- Brittlebush
- Psorothamnus schottii
- Kangaroo ratbush
- Arizona Lupine
- Desert Monkey Flower
- Ground Cherry
- Fish-Hook Cactus
- San Felipe Dogweed
- Two-leaf Ephedra
- Jimsonweed
- Chia
Lovely. Will you go back and identify these when you remember their names? Is the last one Blackfoot Daisy?
I wish I could have taken that class!
I don’t think it is Blackfoot Daisy, I can’t remember that one.
