Just Because They are Pretty



It is so hot and dry here that I find myself in the mood for something more spring-like and pretty.  So, for today's post I have some flowers from my last walk at the Desert Botanical Garden.  My last walk was back in June when I could still get there early enough to enjoy being outside.  It will be a few more weeks before I can do that again.  Above we have two varieties of Desert Rose.  I love this resilient plant.  They bloom all year and can take our punishing sun.


A big yellow sunflower is always a cheerful sight.


Blooms on the Guayacan plant. The bees love this one.


And, some pretty purple owls clover.  This one can be found growing wild in some areas.

I can't wait to see things bloom again.

It's hard to beat a sunflower, isn't it? Those desert roses are pretty amazing, too.
