Fireworks!

 


I believe these blooms are called Gomphrena Fireworks and I can see how they got the "fireworks" name.  They do look a lot like an exploding sky rocket.  In fact, I think I saw something similar in the fireworks show I saw on the 4th.  

These were growing at the Desert Botanical Garden when I was there back in June.  


I have a new post on Sharon's Sojourns today.  I made a short stop in a town in the far northeastern corner of Arizona.
