Death Valley Flora
This is a neat little slideshow that presents a bunch of plants that grow in DVNP. There are even a few cactus in there that I would like to hug!

I'm going to have to check out more of that guy's videos! At YouTube he says that he actually grew this plant in his backyard since he couldn't locate it anywhere in the wild. That's what I call dedication!

I always thought they were datura trumpet vines but now you got me wondering if they could actually be devil's claw. At 55 mph it's hard to tell. I've heard of kids smoking datura before but it doesn't seem to be a problem because although it gets you high it's an extremely unpleasant experience. I read that Devil's claw is often prescribed for arthritis. Never heard of anyone smoking it. I take a pinch of borax every day or so to keep my joints working and it works wonders. Never heard of anyone comparing it to devil's claw for that purpose. Got a feeling that borax works much better.
