Sun-baked splendor. Desert-sand Verbenas and Primroses burst into a kaleidoscope blanketing a patch of California desert. Bright yellow Brittlebrush pops against a spare rocky outcrop in Neveda’s Valley of Fire State Park. And the close-ups: fuchsia blooms on a Pricklypear; the big, fleshy flowers of a towering Saguaro. From the National Audubon Society comes a year of stunning desert wildflowers, in photographs that capture, and celebrate, their moment of peak beauty—transforming their arid, harsh landscapes with brilliant swaths of color.Printed on responsibly sourced paper.
