Another beautiful morning on the trail with Research Associate Becca, who loves the smell of the Viscid Acacia bush. Here's a small one in full flower.
These are the wonderfully fragrant blossoms of the Viscid Acacia.
We came upon the rarest of plants--the RA stalk--while bushwhacking offtrail. I'm guessing that "RA" stands for "Research Area," but I'm not sure. More on this later.
We found quite a few of these unidentified plants near the RA stalk; we're guessing that they're some kind of wild onion. (Actually, Rain Lily and seed pods. See note in "Name That Wildflower.")
This oddly-shaped barrel cactus (twins?) caught our eye as we were hiking up the mountain flank. We named them Schwarzeneggar and DeVito.
