Wildflowers…….you just have to know where to look

We took a ranger lead wildflower walk. Now we feel like we have to tiptoe through the sandy washes. There are little flowers everywhere. We missed the Joshua Trees blooming, that happened back in February. They are by the way not trees, not cactus, but actually an Agave Yucca. Sure look like a tree! They live for hundreds of years. They claim there is one here that has a 9 foot circumference trunk and is forty foot tall. It is out in the wilderness area where we can’t get but we have seen some that are more than 20feet tall. There are great forests of them with their tuft-ended branches. Very cool to see. Probably as neat as the Saguaro.
