  A very spiny cactus

  I think this is a Diodia or buttonweed

  An interesting Oenothera - note the crab spider hanging out on the back side of the stem

  Ok, so this is a lichen and not a plant

  More cool lichens

  And finally a decent Penstemon shot after many in which my camera focused on anything but the plant

  A nice cacuts.  I think Alain may have found Trachymyrmex under the grass clump in this picture.  Or else it was another grass clump and cactus much like these.  ;)

  The columbine that was in the soda bottle by the phones

  Some cool hawkmoth flowers - possibly Mirabilis?
