The plants at DRS are all plants that grow in Arizona’s low desert. Many are native to the area, Others are native to other parts of the Sonoran Desert. Still others are just plants that Doug likes.

Favorite pictures from February 2013
This harissia is a night bloomer which means if I want to get it’s picture, I have to stay up late and use lighting OR I have to get up early to get the picture. Since this was taken in February with cool days, I could still take it close to noon.
This is a view that is close to Desert Rat Studio. The flat-topped mountain is Table Top.
