I found one about the size of a pineapple. It was rooted (extremely securely, I might add) in a rocky outcropping at Montevido. I should have taken
a picture of it. Before that I had also commented that I had never seen a baby boojum.
Elephant trees...anyone see a baby elephant tree? I got to thinking about that a few years ago at Gonzaga.

Baby Boojums:
It's a little known fact that baby Boojums only exist near the road south from El Marmol toward Catavina. They, of course, are easy to find there.
After they become teenagers, they grow little feet and roam Baja until they find the perfect spot to homestead and then spend the rest of their long
life there.
Trust Me
Also, I'm pretty sure DK is some sort of a BP (Boojum Prevert (sic)
(sic Boojum Prevert?)
I, on the other hand, am completely normal.
My motto:
Never let a Dragon pass by without pulling its tail!

Great story DK! Wonder then if the little deciduous side branches would root? Next chance I get......hmmm, maybe this next week in the sisters I'll
try the air layering method and come back to check on it next trip.....
Neal--your story of mobile boojums reminds me of a story we told my cousin's wife on her first trip to Baja(she had just moved out here from
Chicago--never been camping even). She was a little worried about wild animals coming into our camp by the beach. We told her the only thing she had
to worry about were the mussels, which crept up the sand at night and sometimes would crawl into your sleeping bag and clamp onto your skin......poor
thing, she believed us!

I've had to
chase those pesky mussels out of camp on many occasions. That's why I now spend most of my time in the hills.
Up there, you only have to watch out for those Boojum stalkers like Neal and DK !

I stumbled across this site first thing.
http://www.pbase.com/jugheadken/bajas_central_desert
Definitely some of the best photos I have seen regarding Baja and elsewhere. I think yall will enjoy it.
Not only that, it happens to be put together by Herb. And he is good with that camera!

Baby boojums and baby elephant trees look almost identicle.
Many many years ago my dad tried to smuggle a boojum across the border to plant in Borrego Springs. Unfortunately, when it grew up it turned out to
be an elephant tree instead.

Not Baja, but still a Boojum.
Anyone want to guess where this picture was taken?

Here's a baby Boojum for those who wished to see what they look like when they're young(its the plant in the green square plastic pot).

Mexitron is the winner.
He guessed the San Diego Wild Animal Park as the place where the mini arched Boojum photo was taken.
If anyone is in the San Diego area and want a taste of Baja, without actually going, they have a nice baja botanical exibit.

David, Bedman?
Did either of you take a photo of that weird one on the road to San Borja? It is a perfect rectangle, like a large door, right next to the
road....I'll have to take a pic. of it next time, they sure do take on weird shapes, I've always wondered why, anybody have a theory?
