These bushes are very attractive when they have cute little flowers on them this time of year. You will find the Creosote bush everywhere in the Mojave Desert, based on my experience. they are very prolific bushes.

Beautiful when it flowers.
Thank you! The blooming seems to happen quickly, I best go back soon.
Beautiful against the blue sky.
Thanks so much, Bridgette! ❤️☺️
The desert plants really show their colors when they bloom. Nice shots, John.
Thanks very much, guys! Mr. Ransvaal and I always appreciate your stopping by my place! ❤️
Do you have trees like elm or maple or oak? Your pictures are always of trees that we do not have here, so just wondering.
I’ve had to research this: The Maple tree isn’t well-suited to the desert climate. Oak trees are survivors here, no problem. Apparently, only the Chinese Elm is suited for life down here. Here is a list of trees that do well here:

I wish I could give you a more specific list than this…
Some amazing trees there! I would never have thought some of those trees would grow in a desert. I bought Dan a weeping willow a few years ago. I think it has been shrinking. 🙄
A Willow tree should do well there, they grow nicely with a good water supply. They grow like weeds in Michigan, we had 2 of them at the lake shore where I grew up.
