Teddy Bear cactus – not too cuddly!
“Joshua” trees were named by the Mormon settlers
 in the mid 19th century.  The tree reminded them of
 the biblical story of Joshua, with his arms
 outstretched in prayer.   In 1987, it gained fame
 when U2 released it’s Joshua Tree album, with 
dramatic black and white landscape photos.  It
 became a National Park in 1994, one of our most
 recent additions.
