We first collected wildflower images during a Wildflower Walk conducted as part of the Cascabel Hermitage Association Workshop Series for 2001, organized by Pearl Mast and David Omick and led by Professor Steve McLaughlin, a botanist for the University of Arizona Arid Lands Program. In all, some 53 species were identified, the full list of which may be obtained from Tom Orum at torum@email.arizona.edu. We have since continued to add images as we encounter them, building the image collections outlined below.

The links on the side provide further information on wildflowers and other Saguaro Juniper related information. Included are more images from the 2001 wildflower walk, flowering schedules from the William G. McGinnies list for the Sonoran desert, which was compiled between 1966 and 1985, and information regarding the unique seasonal changes in our area.
