Brandon you are right, that's the plan, thanks for the ID, I will correct the spot.
Happens to me seems a very interesting plant Ava, thank you for the reference guide.
What's really neat about this tree, is that it's native only to Baja California, and found nowhere else in the wild. Very science fiction looking, sort of resembling an upside down carrot.
Great Spotting!
Here's a Baja Sur plant guide, but I don't see your plant on it! http://www.sci.sdsu.edu/plants/field/baj...
This is a very cool plant; I hope someone can identify it because I'd love to know what it is.
