This week is typically the time of year my friends and I would head out to Anza Borrego Desert State Park and check out the wildflowers. This year just didn't seem to be worth it, We did not receive enough rain and it didn't happen at crucial points in the winter season. These photos I took of Hesperocallis Undulata are from 3-14-17.in the Coyote Canyon area on the eastside of town in a intermittent streambed.. They are widely distributed in the Borrego Springs area, I have found them in places from stream beds to dry ridge lines near Fonts Point, They inhabit a far wider array of habitat zones zone then I had been aware of. I've included photos from Borrego Springs during a wet winter "Super Bloom". Mid March 2017. The bulbs for this desert geophyte typically lie dormant 3-6 feet below the surface. So we need a lot of rain to have the plant surface and bloom Mike San Diego -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
