Description:
Plum Canyon apparently was named for the Desert Apricot, Prunus fremontii, a deciduous shrub which grows by the side of the road and produces deliciously fragrant white flowers in spring, but for all too brief a time. You are more likely to see the red flowers of the Chuparosa, Justicia californica, a plant which sometimes grows to shrublike proportions in Plum Canyon and which attracts hummingbirds..
