It's really hard to pick a favorite, but for now I'm really liking the Prince's Plum.

I really like the Mojave Aster too. Wonder if they would do good in my salad.

I'm partial towards any kind of cactus. If it has thorns, then it's okay by me! I like the cactus page that blackturtle put together. Here's the link: http://www.blackturtle.us/DV_PLANTS/cactus.html I'm not sure which cactus is my favorite, but for now I'll go with...

Wildflower festival on the way
This sounds like an interesting event. It would be a great way to learn more about wildflowers and to meet other people with similar interests! The actual event will take place April 15-17, but there are planning meetings that are open to the public prior to the actual event.
:sunshine:
It will be some time before wildflowers in the area bloom, but the champions of the Ridgecrest Desert Wildflower Festival are already months into the planning process to bring the event from concept to reality.

Event coordinators hope to make the festival, the trial expansion of the Maturango Musuem's annual wild flower show, a signature event for the entire community said Maturango Museum Executive Director Harris Brokke, Thursday.

Is that a sunflower or a beanstalk? 'Eiffel Flower' soars to 23ft in back garden and heads for world record
It would be pretty much impossible to grow one this tall in the desert, but even under ideal conditions a sunflower this tall is amazing! :sunshine:
It hasn’t exactly been a blazing summer, but this sunflower doesn’t seem to have noticed. It has shot up to a height of 23ft despite a distinct lack of the sunshine on which its species famously thrives and without any special treatment. With no sign of it slowing down, the giant bloom could soon break the world record height for a sunflower of 26ft 4in.
