So I attended a show at the San Francisco Library that dealt with California Wildflowers and the effect of global climate change on them.

So it is a very mixed bag. The deserts in particular have these things called "100 year blooms" where a spectacular and unexpected rainfall in the winter leads to amazing flowers. But with lcimate change they are happening more often.
How he gets those black or white backgrounds - without cutting the flowers. Very cool. |

This isn't a discussion of what to do about the climate, but just cataloging the effects of climate change on California Wildflowers and some spectacular pictures.

This is my favorite picture. The ocotillo in full bloom with the jumping cholo cactus. |
