I saw some chuparosa blooming in Pinyon Wash (no pics). The creosote bushes were very green in Harper Flat (no pics). There were a few brittle bush plants with some blooms in Pinyon Wash and in Harper Flat this weekend. I am hoping for some more rain and a huge bloom this spring. But I bet everyone is wishing for that.

David,
I wish for a wonderful bloom as well, there are so many species that will only appear once, in five, ten, fifteen years and longer, I very much like your photo of encelia, I always look for it on rocky slopes, it brings an early spring (even though it is just a very opportunistic plant), mallow and lupine would then follow. Break a stem or flower, it will smell like sunflower.
This is a nice forum
