Teardrop Trail Log: March 27, 2016
We were a little early for the big flush of wildflowers, but there were quite a few blooms — especially cactus — anyway. These are a few of the beauties we encountered in the Big Bend area.
- Ocotillo (Fouquieria splendens)
- Greenstem Paperflower (Psilostrophe sparsiflora (A. Gray))
- Buttercup (Ranunculus macranthus)
- Strawberry Pitaya Cactus (Echinocereus enneacanthus)
- Purple Prickly Pear Cactus (Opuntia macrocentra)
- Creosote Bush (Larrea tridentata)
