#desertflowers — Public Fediverse posts

Baileya pauciradiata (Colorado Desert Marigold, Laxflower) which I photographed in near Borrego Springs in March 2024.

My endless backlog of plant photos currently consists of ~900 photos with identified species that "just" need keywords, titles, captions, alt-text. And then many more with photos that are in a worse state (need culling, identification, editing). Good thing it's hot and the weather isn't interesting either right now... 🥴

Excerpt: " 'You can think of it like drought evasion,' said Erik Rakestraw, a curator of botany at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum in Tucson. 'In their seed form, it’s like they’re not even existing. They’re just laying in the soil.'

"In the proper conditions, the seeds will germinate. Then, after the flowers are pollinated, they’ll turn back to seeds and the cycle will begin again."

Looks like one of best years of Anza Borrego, one of my favorite places 😊

Highly recommend 😉

I have a plan to visit San Diego in May, but it will probably be too late to see this 😓

Sonoran spring. This is the Sonoran Desert in western Arizona from March 1984. Unusual winter rains had covered the landscape with new growth, and lots of desert flowers, including the blossoms on the ocotillo to the left.

Ocotillo flowers, Sonoran Desert, Arizona, March 1984. Poison tells us every rose has its thorn, but roses have nothing on ocotillo in this respect.

Only an hour drive away from Downtown Las Vegas... the desert floor, covered in White Stem Evening Primrose like I've seen never before with Traveling Piano Pup Mo of course. The air smells like a white lily. www.travelingpiano.com #valleyoffire #nevada #usa #desertflowers #eveningprimrose #photography #photo #realphoto
