Plagiarism alert
The article has a very beautiful flowing style to it. It pains me to say so, but I see this as a strong sign of plagiarism. You just don't get writing like that on wiki. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.82.44.253 (talk) 05:14, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Article Evaluation
What information is missing?

Any discussion about ocatillos and the superbloom, both super critical to Anza Borrego, are not discussed! Alanabasm (talk) 06:14, 7 October 2023 (UTC)

Potential images for Gallery or Flora and fauna
I recently uploaded some high resolution images that I took while in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. I just wanted to put links to them here incase they are of any interest to the editors of this page. Two of the photos are of Cylindropuntia echinocarpa (Silver Cholla) which is a species of cactus present in the state park ( and ) which I noted was absent from this Wikipedia article.

Here is a link to a potential source for the inclusion of cholla in the article https://www.abdnha.org/pages/03flora/family/cactaceae/cylindropuntia_echinocarpa.htm.

I also took a photo of Apis mellifera (Honey Bee) in Anza Borrego Desert pollinating the Desert Lavender (Hyptis emoryi) present in the park. I hope this can be of some use to y'all and sorry if this seems a little unorthodox as I am pretty new to editing. ZombiUwU (💬 ~♥~ 📝) 07:19, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
