The only other plant found growing in the immediate vicinity was a succulent shrub species of Amaranthaceae, Arthraerua leubnitziae. Heavy fog in the morning. Ten miles East, no fog. In this way Welwitschia can be seen to be a relictual species somewhat akin to coastal redwoods of California, both clinging to a narrow strip along the coast of a cold ocean where they can find what they need to survive and in the case of Welwitschia, avoid competition.

Growing out of the very top of Delicate Arch... A sea of tourists taking selfies under the most well-known arch in the U.S. and of course I'm drawn to the native plant it's wearing as a hat. ha ha.

I almost can’t believe it myself, but it has to be this. We just went and saw Lewisia maguirei in the Quinn Canyon Range YESTERDAY. About 150 air miles from this location in the Spring Mountains. About 50 plants. South and west facing limestone slope near top of small ridge. We looked at the sepals of 20 flowers, 19 had 3 sepals and 1 had 4 sepals. Plants had 2-3 flowers per inflorescence. :)!

Two separate cones near each other in wash adjacent to Mesquite Spring Campground. Must've traveled quite a great distance to get to this point.

Not sure what is going on but this is the fourth birder that I know of who has had a phoebe perch on their binoculars or on their person at Commons Ford.

These were blooming all over the area above the Dominguez Canyon, bright spots of yellow opening for one day and then dying, ready for another set to bloom tomorrow. They don't have time for fancy smooth petals, so the wrinkled linen look is in.
A beetle resting in the shade of some petals is par for the course!
