Desert Wildflower Hike

I did a hike today on the Wind Cave Trail in Usery Park.  It is known for its wildflowers and did not disappoint.  Despite very little rainfall in the last few months, there were wildflowers and many desert adapted plants in bloom.  Check them out:

Desert adapted plants (in order):  Brittlebush, Chuparosa, Orange Globe Mallow, Pink Fairy Duster)

 

These desert adapted plants grow easily in a landscaped yard.  They will do best with drip irrigation as opposed to flood irrigation.  Add them to your xeriscape for added color and wildlife!
