我們開車往死亡谷最低處 Badwater Basin, 很驚喜這裡花也成長起來了。它有很好看的 Desert Five-Spot(Eremalche Rotundifolium 沙漠五點), 粉色的花瓣上有5個鮮豔的紅點, 花卉白天打開, 夜間關閉。它是最美麗的沙漠花之一,當光線穿過嬌嫩的花瓣,花球就像一個發光的燈籠, 所以它也被稱為燈籠花和中國燈籠。






Desert Five-Spot is one of the most beautiful flowers that grows in the desert 4 to 24 inches high. Its sparse leaves are round to heart-shaped, with scalloped margins up to 2 inches wide. The color of the leaves is green and often red with short, bristly hairs.When light passes through the delicate petals of the flower, the globe resembles a glowing lantern. For this reason, the desert five-spot is also known as the lantern flower and Chinese Lantern.
同樣驚喜, 很乾旱的 Artist's Drive也有野花。





很驚訝的是,在下午有一個很大的風暴來到死亡谷,本來想看 Sand Dunes,看不到了, 我們趕快回旅館。
