Desert Plant Wrapup – 2019

We were surprised at all the flowers that we saw during the week-long visit. We'd missed the super bloom that occurred several weeks earlier, but were delighted at the variety of flowers and bushes still in bloom throughout the regions we visited. This was due to the late and ongoing rains that Southern California enjoyed this year. What a treat, especially after the severe drought from several years ago.

Here is a gallery of some of this year's flowering plants and shrubs (see galleries for 2017 and 2018 to compare).

Buckeye

Wand Salvia

Aster

Every year we are treated to new and varied experiences. Many of the blossoms are predictable, while others are elusive and unexpected. Our quest to observe the blooms in nature adds to the exploration, fun, and adventures we share together.
