DESERT FLORAL
|
HEDGEHOG
This cactus blooms from May to July. It is most often found in powdery soil among Sagebrush, Pinyon Pines, and Juniper's. This cactus is fairly popular with collectors. |
OCOTILLO
A funnel-shaped plant with several woody, almost unbranched, spiny, commonly straight stems leafless most of the year, and a tight cluster of red flowers at the tip of the branch. They bloom, commonly, from March to June. Sometimes they will bloom later in the year. They are commonly found in open stony slopes in the desert. The family consists of about 11 species, mostly Mexican, with Ocotillo the most northern. Leaves appear only after rain and wither when the soil dries, a cycle commonly repeated several times during the warm season. |
BARREL CACTUS
These cactus grew in a cluster. I am not sure if this is normal for this type to do this. There is many species of the Barrel Cactus and this is just one of them. |
