While a bit past its prime, the spring wildflower blooms were still plentiful in Anza-Borrego this week. The hike to Palm Canyon, an easy 3-mile roundtrip, gives you a waterfall, a stream, and a palm grove (
in the wild!) of California fan palm (the only palm tree native to California). And, of course, many species of wildflowers. In this photo, the yellow are brittlebush and the large cactus on the left is an ocotillo. Here is a sampling of some blooming cactus for you.
Barrel Cactus
Beavertail Cactus
Teddy-Bear cactus (also known as “jumping cactus”)
A trio of plants: Brittlebush in the foreground, Beavertail cactus, and the lower portion of an Ocotillo.
Finally, here is a stately ocotillo with its crimson blooms waving high and majestic. More wildflower photos to come.
