Desert tea is a beautiful plant. I saw two different species a week ago on a trip to the Mono Basin. Ephedra californica was in the eastern Sierra and Ephedra viridis was in the Bodie Hills just above Mono Basin. I watched a pair of mountain bluebirds flashing above a meadow on the road to Bodie. #travelsketching #deserttea #ephedracalifornica #californiajointfir #ephedraviridis #mountainjointfir #sciart #mountainbluebird #sialiacurrucoides https://www.instagram.com/p/BqYYPxVBJ0H/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=hna5dr5g6inm
