Santa Fe Dam Recreation Area sand tray, 12/1/2022

 

Note the low density of the non-succulent angiosperms. I bet they're doing that bet-hedging thing where only a fraction of the seeds germinate each year (I didn't refrigerate my tray this year so cues for 100% of seeds to sprout may not be present).

I also tossed some native crystalworts in there and they're growing (this one is Riccia trichocarpa if my key can be trusted).

Its photograph's blurry until you click on it, for some reason.
