Isomeris arborea

Today's post is a follow-up to the January 28, 2007 entry on Isomeris arborea. I thought I would share why the common name for this plant is bladderpod.

These photographs were taken at the south entrance to Joshua Tree National Park, in the Sonoran Desert portion of the park (the north part of the park features the Mojave Desert).

These are really very nice pictures, especially the wide angle. I love the pictures of plants I don't normally get to see in person.

Thanks for the two photos, Daniel. I love to see the close-up flowers and seed pods and also to see what the whole plant looks like. Thanks also for photos from Joshua Tree National Park. I grew up on the Mojave Desert about an hour's drive from Joshua Tree and love all desert plants (as well as plants from everywhere else)!

I thought Bladderpod was a wildflower that begins growing about now and blooms mid summer here in Arizona.
Guess they must be cousins.
