Spring Flowers at Anza Borrego

Here's a few flower shots from Anza-Borrego. This is a pincushion cactus. It's only a few inches tall, and the top of the plant is barely larger than a quarter. But it puts out great blooms!

Desert sand verbena, common in the Socal desert given adequate rainfall. At times there are large fields of these around Palm Springs. They even grow in some coastal areas...I believe I've seen them around Monterey.

This large field of desert dandelions is right in someone's front yard in Borrego Springs! This is the best display of this flower I've seen so far this year.

These attractive white flowers are desert chicory, blooming in Borrego.
