A Flower Among Thorns

Posted by Monte Stevens (Westerville, United States) on 26 March 2008 in Plant & Nature.

The last two mornings I have risen early to walk around Silly Mountain near Gold Canyon. The small mountain is covered with yellow brittlebush. Breathing deeply will fill your nostrils with the scent of flowers. Within the desert we will see where beautiful flowers grow among prickly cactus. This is a brittlebush growing right along with a cholla cactus.
