Desert dudleya is a small, rosette-forming succulent with pointed blue-green leaves. It is native to the Peninsular Ranges and sky islands of the Mojave and Colorado Deserts. It goes unnoticed for much of the year, until bright pink flowering stems bolt up bearing clusters of yellow flowers in late spring. Its flowers are pollinated by hummingbirds and it is a host plant for the Sonoran blue butterfly. In recent years, dudleyas have been impacted by illegal poaching in California.
