The Mojave Desert is a harsh environment. The Mojave aster had to adapt to the low water and extreme temperatures of the desert. The botanical name is Xylorhiza tortifolia.
There is a significant deep water aquifer under the Mojave Desert. It is known as the Morongo Ground Water Basins and comprise a large share of the groundwater in the area.
In the Mojave Desert there is soil, sand, gravel, rocks, water, air and light - all abiotic factors.
Most of the southwest US is desert with little surface water and rare periods of seasonal "monsoon" type rains. Farm crop plants (unlike desert plants) cannot handle this scarcity of water.

The Mojave aster is able to thrive in the desert whenever there is water around, and stay inactive when there is not. Another adaptation is that the plant releases seeds if it is in danger of dying.
