Heavily armed, cane-like branches stretch skyward as if waiting for rain. The Ocotillo's shallow, wide-spreading roots absorb every drop of rain that soaks into the ground. After the rain, new leaves quickly sprout, grow and store much-needed energy. After a few weeks, the leaves fall and the plant once again begins to wait.
Hummingbirds depend on the ocotillo for their survival. When the ocotillo's tips are aflame with red, tubular flowers, watch for the birds and their tiny nests."
