Description
A Creosote Bush (Larrea tridentata), surrounded by mostly bright yellow Desert Dandelion (Malacothrix glabrata), few darker yellow Creosote bush flowers and purple Arizona lupine flowers (Lupinus arizonicus), in California’s Joshua Tree National Park, side-lighted by early morning light in Spring.
The Creosote bush (Larrea tridentata) is a very characteristic feature of North America's hot deserts, tolerates arid conditions by its toughness, and competes with other plants for water. Its small, pointed, yellow-green leaves adapt to conserve water and dissipate heat. These leaves have been used as antiseptics and emetics by native peoples. Its foliage provides refuge for crickets, grasshoppers and praying mantis. The creosote bush originated in South America from which it is believed to have spread to North America during the Pleistocene period (1 million to 10,000 years ago).
I was fascinated by this view, with the Creosote Bush originating in the upper right corner and spreading towards the lower left corner, nicely peppered by bright wildflowers.
