Another plant that is blooming right now is the Ocotillo, the prickly plant with long thin branches. In my title I called it a cactus but apparently it is more related to tea than it is to cactus.
Those long, skinny legs get clusters of orangish-red blooms on them at this time of year.
Here are a couple of closer looks at those brightly colored blooms. Topped with those redish blooms, they look very festive.
Great colors, still too early for that in my area.
