The high desert is exploding with blossoms... John Buchanan May 17, 2023 of a variety of wildflowers and shrubs following the very wet spring. It’s quite glorious. Harriman’s yucca, also known as narrow-leaf yucca (Yucca harrimaniae). Whipple’s fishhook cactus (Sclerocactus whipplei). Yellow cryptanth (Cryptantha flava). Cliffrose (Purshia mexicana), incredibly aromatic and sweet-smelling. Anderson’s larkspur (Delphinium andersonii). Toxic!
