Rather than having to post twice, I'll link you to my website. (My hikes are nearly always plant-oriented). I have not bothered to try to figure out the exact species for most of these, but I think I have the correct genera.

I don't know how I missed this but thanks for posting your links. All my trips end up being plant related, going to the zoo, I always take pictures of the plants, animals are secondary LOL.

March 2009, hubby and I did a 4X4 trip down to the desert, here are some shots with lots of the wildflowers included. http://picasaweb.google.com/SP...

Wow, those are great! Thanks for sharing. It's been a long time since I've been up that way - pre digital camera, in fact. (We don't 4x4 but we stopped at Fossil Falls on time on the way to Death Valley.)
