Wildflowers in the desert?
🌼 You might not expect it, but Wadi Rum is full of flora and fauna! Even in the toughest conditions, life finds a way (as David Attenborough would say).
🌼 The best months to see wildflowers are in March and April.
🌼 The most common wildflowers are white and purple desert campions (pictured), crocus, and rosemary.
🌼 Desert plants survive with very limited supplies of water and have slow metabolisms to conserve water Utah’s (a bit like camels).
🌼 Bedouins have been using various herbs and plants in Rum for generations to treat illnesses and improve their health.
