to be seen on
my circumnavigation of Upheaval Dome yesterday.
Gasp! Yes, it's true. So here's a showcase of desert wildflowers in bloom (click images to enlarge).
The first is the carpet-like desert phlox (
Phlox austromontana):
This shaded nook held a delicate dwarf evening-primrose (
Oenothera caespitosa) before its petals closed in the heat of the day:
This Whipple's fishhook cactus (
Sclerocactus whipplei) put on some nice blooms:
Claretcup cactus (
Echinocereus triglochidiatus) is arguably my favorite cacti in all of canyon country:
And this blue beauty is dwarf lupine (
Lupinus pusillus):
Last, but not least, here's an image of spectacle-pod (Dithyrea wislizenii):
