Speaker: Sue Rutman, “Spring Wildflowers of the Sonoran Desert”
Will the Sonoran Desert have a good wildflower season? There’s no way to know if it will, but we can all see some wildflowers at this presentation! Take a walk through the winter/spring annual plants with Sue. See some all-time favorites and some more unusual species. Be prepared to share your favorite spots to see wildflower displays or unusual plants.
