The Duranes Acequia

Caro and I took a stroll from Veranda south along the Duranes lateral to Dulcinia Park.  It's getting warm and there wasn't as much shade as other ditches we've walked.  Some spring flowers are nearly finished and the summer plants are starting to come in.  Here's my species list:

  • Siberian elm
  • Baccharis
  • Wisteria
  • Rio Grande cottonwood
  • Ornamental plum
  • Four-wing salt bush
  • Kochia
  • Seep willow
  • Sow thistle
  • False indigo bush
  • Foxtails
  • Horse nettle
  • Rocket
  • and a couple mystery grasses  
On the drive out of the parking area, we saw a couple gorgeous cacti in bloom.

Echinocereus

Opuntia
