*** About Ocotillo: Fondly called the desert coral, the ocotillo (Fouquieria splendens) is not a true cactus but a deciduous shrub native to the Southwestern United States and northern Mexico. This fascinating plant can soar up to 20 feet, thriving in desert climates where rain is scarce but sudden and intense. The ocotillo is renowned for its ability to bloom with vibrant red flowers immediately following rainfall, creating a spectacular display against the stark desert backdrop. Adapted to their harsh environment, ocotillos have small, water-conserving leaves that can appear and drop off multiple times a year, depending on moisture availability.
