| Description |
Inyo County, California, above Antelope Springs, Deep Springs Valley, White Mountains, elevation 1715 m (5625 ft). Another small sample of the amazing 2017 spring bloom in this area. And always a reminder of how much diversity stays dormant and camouflaged in the desert soil most of the time. The annual life strategy (germinating, flowering, shedding seed, and dying again all in just a few months) can be found almost everywhere, but is most abundant and diverse in the warm deserts of the world, where it allows plant species to persist through prolonged and highly variable periods of drought and heat. The annual species visible in this image include: Diplacus parryi (Parry monkeyflower) Lupinus flavoculatus (yellow eyes) Gilia stellata (star gilia) Erythranthe calcicola (limestone monkeyflower) Chaenactis carphoclinia carphoclinia (pebble pincushion) Gilia clokeyi (Clokey gilia) Nemacladus orientalis (redtip threadplant) Linanthus filiformis (threadstem gilia) Phacelia fremontii (yellowthroats) Chylismiella pterosperma (pygmy primrose) The perennials include: Encelia actoni (brittlebush) Eriogonum inflatum (desert trumpet) Sphaeralcea ambigua (globemallow) Ambrosia salsola (cheesebush) Opuntia basilaris (beavertail cactus) |
