Scientific Name: Encelia farinosa, Info: Brittlebush, a widespread and drought-resistant woody shrub with vivid yellow blooms, is one of the most visible desert plants from late winter to mid-spring. During extremely dry, hot years with minimal soil moisture, their green leaves can seem practically white because they are coated with soft, matted "hairs" that reflect the sun's harsh rays, similar to sunscreen. |
