I suspect the desert plants will be posted for a while … I do have a number of them. This is some sort of primrose, but I’m not certain which one (There are five listed in my desert wildflower book).

I’m not sure what this is … perhaps a brittlebush, but I can’t say (or write) for certain. It’s from out latest desert visit and was found in a canyon there, but it was in other areas as well.

It’s a “twofer” night. I’m pretty sure I know the reason for the common name, Desert Pricklepoppy!

I have a great number of desert photos to go through and it’ll take me a good long time. This one, though, was something I wanted to post sooner rather than later, as it was new to me. I believe I’ve identified it correctly, but I’ll always open to being told I’m wrong!* We located it growing on the wall of one of the many canyons one finds in the desert.
*I’m now thinking this might be Hairy Milkweed instead (Sarcostemma hirtellum). Anyone?
Climbing Milkweed, 3.27.16
