Southern Utah, late April-early May, 2012

Just for fun (as I haven't even identified most of the plants), here are some photos from a trip to southern Utah, between April 29 and May 5, 2012.

Wonderful desert scenery in the Price Canyon area, with Astragalus/Oxytropis and Lomatium(?) spp:

    

More scenery and sagebrush, Artemisia tridentata:

  

Physaria sp. growing in a shale bank:

    

Ephedra sp.; Yucca sp.; 

    

Scenery and petroglyphs (disgusting that some cretin would deface this with his/her pathetic scrawlings):

  

Shepherdia rotundifolia (x2); unknown Brassicaceae:

    

Near Price, Utah, many interesting Boraginaceae - Cryptantha crassisepala(?); dried skeleton of Eriogonum umbellatum:

    

Gorgeous Castilleja sp. and scenery:
