Return to the Valley of the Cirio - Gypsum Buckwheats & Giant Cacti in Baja California, Mexico

On the subtly erotic textures of the gypsum-rich Late Cretaceous Marine Sediments in this Baja California Fog Deserts we complete a Floristic Survey of these badland formation and discover a little-known member of the genus Eriogonum as well as enough selenite to make any Etsy Witch squeel with glee.
We also re-plant a patch of tiny Cardon Cacti, Pachycereus pringlei, to a more suitable home than the barren exposures of the gypsiferous hills.

Your contributions support this content. It sounds clichéd, but it's true. Whether it's travel expenses, vehicle repair, or medical costs for urushiol poisoning (or rockfalls, beestings, hand slices, toxic sap, etc), your financial support allows this content to continue so the beauty of Earth's flora can be made accessible to the rest of us in the degenerate public. At a time when so much is disappearing beneath the human footprint, CPBBD is willing to do whatever it takes to document these plant species and the ecological communities they are a part of before they're gone for good.
