| Unusual image showing a flowering Bear Poppy (Arctomecon californica) growing in microbiotic soil near Lake Mead, Nevada. This plant only grows in soil rich in gypsum (calcium sulfate). In addition this plant is growing in microbiotic soil which is material made up of cyanobacter algae, moss, fungi and bacteria in matrix of soil particles. This surface growth forms a crusty cover which resists wind erosion. |
