One of my favorite desert plants is the Joshua tree. The Mormons named it that because the branches reminded them of biblical Joshua, praying and pointing to the heavens. They are definitely unique in the world of trees. John Fremont, the explorer, called it "the most repulsive tree in the vegetable kingdom." Well, all I can say is, to each his own. They look beautiful to me. I finally persuaded the DH to pull over in the California desert so I could get a photo that wasn't blurry from being shot at 60 mph!
