This is our first blog post but it is not about a cactus.
In March of 2018, we were fortunate to have been permitted to see the rare and endangered Zapata bladderpod in habitat. Its habitat is small but federally protected and off-limits to casual visitors. Despite that level of protection, it is threatened by the building of a wall between the US and Mexico as said wall has to be built far enough from the river so as to be on stable ground.
This was formerly known as Lesquerella thamnophila Rollins & E.A. Shaw.
Physaria thamnophila
