Desert Adventures For The Mind Body & Spirit: Desert Mountain Apothecary By William Z. Brennan Who Should Watch DMA: Anyone who loves the outdoors, hiking, healthy, wild botanicals, supreme views, natural living, desert roots, good vibes, grateful, positive, uplifting, and inspiring content, and who loves exploring the San Diego Backcountry, along with the SoCal beaches, with a fun, and knowledgeable friend alongside. Why Should You Watch DMAl: There was a time long ago when I was very sick, and had a compound injury that wouldn’t heal. At a certain point I was almost housebound in a small apartment. RU-vid was a window to the outside world, and welcome company during lonely, painful days. I’m so lucky to be healthy, and living in the Southern California Desert, that I feel called to share my little world with you. You can always tune into one of my videos, and get lost in a sunny, warm day where we’re out having a fun adventure far from the hustle and bustle of the big city.
Thank you! Sometimes we'll get a bit of a bloom in the late summer/ early fall when we get the monsoon weather pattern where tropical moisture comes north and the California Desert and Arizona get big thunderstorms. We didn't get that this year, so everything is dormant/dead and beige.
@@desertmountainapothecary ah okay. i experienced blooming during xmas last year at a different location. more closer to palm springs. i am planning to go again Dec.
@@jamescarr2156 The lower the elevation and the more south and western the exposure to the sun, so Palm Springs and the Coachella Valley usually get some of the earliest blooms, even just in the vacant lots. We're having a La Nina weather pattern this year so we're supposedly expecting a dry winter. Hope they are wrong and we get another wet winter and wildflower superbloom. Check out last year's superbloom down in San Diego county ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qwYyoCODUeU.html
You would really like to visit Brazil, in the hot spring, in the rocky fields. and discover flowers that grow on ore cangas. stones... what we have here is wonderful. It's a shame, the government doesn't impose protection laws and Brazilians don't preserve as much. hug and thank you. I would like to go there one day
Thank you so much for your comment! I would love to visit Brazil one day, haven't been yet. Yes it's sad to see the destruction of nature around the world. I'm grateful to live in a little pocket that has been spared. Thank you for watching!💚
What a great articulate description of the desert blooms and brush. I have a token creosote in my 1/2 acre yard. I try to have anything I can grow in my yard in Mesa near downtown. I am on the east side of the greater Phoenix Valley.
Thank you so much for your kind comment! That's cool, I just started gardening with native plants a few years ago and once I started I realized how silly it is not to use the plants native to the environment you're in. Thank you again for watching and commenting!
You are correct, and if you spot any other mistakes in my videos please leave a comment so I can not make that same mistake again. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Thank you so much for watching and commenting! Yes its so special after all the drought years, and it just broke my heart during the last drought to see the trees dying and the land cracking open. So this last year has been a wonderful relief from that.
Hope so! We keep having bands of rainy and cloudy weather so the perennial and the wildflowers are really just starting to pop now. Unless it gets hot right away, I think we're in for a nice long flower season.
This is on Montezuma Hwy about halfway between Borrego Springs and Ranchita. This footage is from last year, so in about a month this spot will look like this again. The yellow brittlebrushes are blooming everywhere on the desert valley floor though!
This is from last year, but if you want to see a similar landscape full of blooming brittlebrushes and other flowers check out lower coyote canyon and fonts point in Borrego Springs, and then in about a month or so depending on the weather, the hill and mountainsides will start to bloom yellow like in the video.
Thank you I'm thrilled that you enjoyed it! I'm so glad I was able to regain a little patience for making and editing videos so that you could also be delighted by the blooming ocotillos.
The perennials like brittlebrush and chuparosa can sometimes bloom for a few weeks, the wildflowers that grow from seed vary from a day or two to a week. The wildflowers start at the bottom of the desert and then as the spring warms up the bloom moves further and further up the hills, so it can stretch out for two months or even a little more if you are willing to check out different spots. Thank you for watching and commenting!
@@rohit25416 That should be perfect timing. Definitely call the state park headquarters in Borrego Springs when you go and ask where the best wildflower viewing areas are that day so you can head straight to the superbloom.
I love Joshua Tree Park, I would go to see the trees n the Statutes. I learned to wear boots, versus shoes, after I nearly walked upon a nest of rattlesnakes! I seem to love the beauty of trees... Thanks, Joyce Kilmer!!! 😍
