Chaparral is one of the most widespread plants found on the desert floor, and some of them are noted to be the oldest living plants in the world. Expansive areas of these shrubs are found growing throughout the desert in western San Bernardino County, and some near Ridgecrest Ca are estimated to be 11,000 years old. Botanists believe that many of surrounding plants are clones of these original plants. Chaparral is regarded as one of the most adaptable desert plants in the world; as it was one of the first to grow back in Yucca Flats after the 1962 nuclear bomb tests done there.

Blue flowers, what can be prettier? I enjoy these blossoms, in the garden, in arrangements, in yarn dying, on the dessert plate and so on. They are simply stunning. Cornflowers (Centaurea cyanus) are appropriately named as they tend to grow wild in corn fields. But it's not uncommon to see them in the garden or by the roadside either.

Rosehips are a wonderful food and vitamin source. Historically, Native Americans used rosehips in their stews and soups after using them for tea. I enjoy using them to make jams, jellies, marmalade's and wine, as well as a delicious tea. GW3DDKE8NP2F
