  Ocotillo In Bloom
by KimberlyAnn
 
 

Favorite thing: Here is a list of park rules that must be observed: All plants, animals, rocks, wood, and other natural features must be undisturbed. Firearms and other weapons are prohibited. Pets are allowed on paved toads only and must be on a leash. Camping and fires are permitted in designated areas with permit only. Trash must be packed out or placed in litter containers. Horses are not allowed to travel off trails. Obey speed limits on the park roads and always wear a seat belt. The photo shows an Ocotillo, which during the dry season looks like dead spindly branches. When it rains, however, it may sprout these wonderful red flowers at the top, and if you are really lucky and see them after enough rain they will also fill out with small green leaves that run up and down the branches.
