The Rotunda at Springs Preserve.

Springs Preserve is in Las Vegas. It's about a half-hour drive from where my brother and his wife live. Springs Preserve is 180 acres of desert plants and animals. It also includes two museums. You can find out more about it at

This beautiful flower is called the "Baja Fairy Duster."

This plant is called Lantana. At the preserve, and in Las Vegas, Lantana grows as a perennial shrub. 

These dinosaurs are life-sized! Watch the video to see them move and roar!


This beautiful tree is a Desert Willow.

I found this very interesting. It was installed on a passive solar house at the preserve.

This plant is an "Octopus Agave."

This variety of prickly pear is called the "Brown Spine Prickly Pear."
