Unicorns!



Another new species that has appeared on our land this monsoon season is mythical indeed, the Desert Unicorn! How cool is that? I never expected to have unicorns for neighbours. This strange plant develops a large tuber underground and when the rains come they grow leaves, lovely yellow flowers and the long curved fruits that give them their name.

It is quite odd Eileen, the rest of the year there is absolutely nothing showing above ground at all, perfectly adapted to desert life.
