Names like "Niños de Heroes", "16 de Septiembre", "Cinco de Mayo", "Miguel Hidalgo", "Jose Maria Morelos" and 20 de Noviembre" and more are common threads of history throughout Mexico.

ELEPHANT TREES: The Frankincense and Myrrh of the Desert: Gnarled, thick-footed, naturally tortured works of art, the Elephant Trees of Baja consist of 9 species and sub-species hailing from actually two distinctly different plant families All Elephant Trees, are so called, because of their stout trucks and bases reminiscent of an elephants’ leg or foot. All Elephant Trees are caudiciforms, which are considered to be succulents. A caudiciform is a characteristic of morphological development and doesn’t relate to family relation.
