Happy New Year! January Challenge

The January Monthly Eco-Blitz Challenge may be late but not forgotten :-)
We are excited to announce this months challenge Christmas Cholla very attractive and festive!
Three things you did not know about Christmas Cholla.

  1. They have white flowers, but most of us recognize them by their bright red fruit and contrasting green stems (similar in color to evergreens).
  2. They are the thinnest cholla, with stems a quarter inch across.
  3. They grow to about 4 feet tall.

Sadly we did not have any posts for the December Challenge of White Crowned Sparrow? Maybe that is a species that needs to be put on the spring months March-May

Lets see how many Christmas Cholla we can spot out there.. Let get out there and enjoy this weather!!
