Baja Flowers
I was digging through a few boxes of slides and found these.
Baja Fairyduster (Calliandra californica)
Dalea (Dalea orcuttii)
Brittlebush (Encelia farinosa)
Passion Flower (Passiflora palmeri)
Baja Petunia (Ruellia californica)
Sumac (Rhus lentii)

Good job, pappy. Your pictures look professional. They could easily be used in a plant guide for baja.

Thanks all for the compliments. Taking pictures of plants is something I enjoy doing. I guess technically, they were professional since they are for
sale.
