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.
Very pretty. I see the bees are busy.
ReplyDeleteThe plant world certainly has a variety of colours, shapes and sizes. Sharon you did a great job of photographing them.
ReplyDeleteWonderful nature is with a close look.
ReplyDeleteHoneybees and aunts, signs of a healthy ecosystem
ReplyDeleteThe barrel cactus flower is delightful
ReplyDeleteLooks like the insects are all hard at work! (Or are those bees sleeping? Passed out from too much pollen?)
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely colours at this time of year, Sharon!
ReplyDeleteNature's beauty at its best.
