Dang, @KarenSoCal, we in the desert this weekend to see wildflowers and there sure plenty in bloon after our rainy season.
We were in Anza Borrego, so the other side of you but some of the same plants. I had a couple I couldn’t figure out and it was making me nuts. I was able to determineout using a field guide when I got home but the other had no blooms, darnit.
The higher we hiked, the closer this plant was to blooming but we gave out before the trail did. I finally realized the leaves and branches looked very familar leaves and got home to correctly I identify them as desert cosmos. They’ll be beautiful when they get around to blooming. :/
