A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Ok thank you... I've always wondered.
Was thinking shooting star also. Would be easier to tell if more of the photo was in focus.
Maybe some sort of maple.
I think I will go dig some more photos of the plant for you Susan. I used to stare in amazement at these plants. My parsnts would yell at me " get away from that it will kill you." so poisonous beauty is a great name too.
I think it might be Dantura. I just never noticed the thorny fruit.
Looks like a passion flower to me.
Oh Ty it is...
Locally I refer to them as Eeyore flowers.
Not sure it's sotol. Sotol has long skinnier floral stems. These look like some sort of Joshua plant. Not the tree.
