Although the desert generally has the reputation for being dry and hostile towards any form of life, you’ll find a variety of well-adapted plants across the biome and within Coronado National Memorial. The park is home to a beautiful array of wildflowers within park boundaries. In the spring and summer months you can find blooming morning glories, tansy-asters, Mexican vervain, claret cup cacuts and more across our nearly 5,000 acres.
