September Blooms

 

Here are a few blooms I found on my walk at the Desert Botanical Garden last Friday.  Above is a bloom on a gourd plant.  

To the right is a Yerba Mansa bloom.  There is a whole group of Yerba Mansa plants that grow near the little pond on one of the garden trails.  I love their unusual looking blooms.

A single bloom was open on the top of a barrel cactus.  If you look closely you can see some tiny little ants inside the bloom.

And of course I had to photograph more desert rose blooms.  I love these plants and they are blooming like crazy right now.
