Blooming Native Chuparosa (Justicia californica) Shrubs | Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument





Our native Chuparosa (Justicia californica) shrubs are currently blooming. Hummingbirds are frequent visitors of the plant because they feed on the nectar from the bright red flowers. Chuparosa, which is the common name for the plant, is the Spanish word for hummingbird. #findyourpark
