Very unique ecosystem there.  Shades of many areas of SoCal, yet different.

Nice shots I never new it was so dry there. Nice lobelia flower we grow that one here in the west coast.  Good job! What a great place to explore.

How would you describe the climate or weather on your visit? Sun looks strong.

Nice pics and an area we hardly see, thank you!

Wow! What a nice trip. Did not know they grew in such dry scrub. Noticeably there are no big trees. Thanks for the pics.

Wonderful shots! Looks like the Southern Sierra Nevada foothills in California, which explains why they grow so well there.

Interesting that many of the trunks are not uniform and can get progressively thinner. That looks like a place one could spend an entire day.

I wonder if the coquitos sold in markets by the 100-gm would germinate.

Judging from the smiles it looks like you had a real good time.  It is on my bucket list for some day in future.

That seems to be the way Jubaea grow.  I will post picture of the two Jubaea I have in month or so, one of which has a slight lean with bulge in trunk just this last year beginning to get thinner towards top as it grows.
