I got up early on Sunday morning and found that it was quite pleasant outside so I decided to head to the Desert Botanical Garden for an early morning walk. I rarely do that in July because of the heat but since is was hovering around 80 degrees early in the morning I decided to give it a try.
I was pleasantly surprised to see a few things blooming like the desert rose in the top photo and this this plant that was growing in a pot with hanging flowers. I'm not sure what it is but it is very attractive.
I even found a couple of cactus blooms which was totally unexpected. There were hardly any people there that early so it made for a quiet walk surrounded by nature.
A very nice display of floral delights!
ReplyDeleteThere is something so pleasant about being in a favourite place with few people. The silence and repose this offers makes the experience so very pleasant. Your photos of the lovely blossoms are a lovely sight for me to see early in my morning today!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous blooms, Sharon !
ReplyDeleteNice~ I'm reading and learning a lot about plumerias in AZ; apparently they do pretty well!!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely the best time to go Sharon, I'm surprised not more had the same idea! Gorgeous, gorgeous blooms, so exotic, especially the cactus flower, what a treat!
ReplyDeleteYour reward for heading out was to see these beauties!
ReplyDeleteThe last one is my favourite!
