It Is A Desert

9 Oct 2006 - Lest the flowers lead you to think we are not in a desert, here are a few photos of plants you will not find in Missouri! Still, they have a beauty of their own which most people come to appreciate. The desert is not a particularly 'friendly' placed as most of its plants stick or prick or harm you in some way if you 'snuggle' up to them but for those who know its ways it is not altogeather hostile either. The second photo is of a yucca plant which resembles a joshua tree when it is small; the way you can distinguish the two is the 'hair' like things you see on this plant - a yucca.
