Desert Milkweed (Asclepias subulata) is not particularly attractive but I bought it for only one reason and you’re seeing it below! The seed pod must have popped open some time during the day but it was the wind late yesterday that drew my attention to it. Once again, I used my SLR in order to get a nice soft background.

crucifixion thorn bloom
This morning’s hike yielded another first for my flora archives…..Crucifixion Thorn blooms. The tiny native bee was a bonus. Also shown is the mature seed pod.
(The blooms are only about 1/4 inch wide).
