13 years later, the desert park by my home is recovering from the drought with a full complement of green seedlings.
Since the rains came later in the Fall and now early in the new year, there might be a different mix of wildflowers this spring - can't wait to find out.
I love it when the ferns start to surface - ferns in the desert? I have yet to become familiar with them but here is a photo of one and if you recognize it let me know...
Thanks to Lorena, I now know that the plant is Astrolepis cochisensis ssp. arizonica. She has an excellent website - Southern Arizona Rare Plants .
