Two very common plants in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park are Desert Agave and Creosote Bush, both of which are in the photograph, taken along the Hellhole Canyon Trail in the park.

Photographed at Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes in Death Valley, this seemed to be the only vegetation there. A bush growing to about nine feet, it was also the only thing we found flowering. It is known not only as Chaparral but also as Greasewood or Creosote Bush. It was growing here in sand.

Blewett Pass is on the east slopes of the Cascades and a favorite place or ours for wildflowers and native orchids, including the Lady's Slippers I posted previously. In the photo, the flowers in the foreground are Showy Penstemon, Penstemon speciosus, with Bitterbush, Purshia tridentata, the plant with the pale yellow flowers behind them. The view is south over the foothills of the Cascades.
