Here are a few more blooms I photographed the last time I was at the Desert Botanical Garden. This one is a squash blossom. Have you ever tasted a stuffed squash blossom? The one I had was delicious.
A patch of Yerba Mansa. Such unusual looking blooms.
This is an evening primrose. There is a spot in the garden where lots of these are blooming right now. Some of the stalks get quite tall.
One of the farmers at the local market sells squash blossoms for stuffing, you can try making them, kinda fun
ReplyDeleteThank you for the tour. I hope you are feeling better.
ReplyDeleteWhat a bright and happy post.
ReplyDeleteI have heard of stuffed squash flowers but never tried one.
ReplyDeleteI have had stuffed squash blossoms -- always interesting, though I think more flavor comes from the stuffing than the blossom. We had evening primroses in our garden one year but they didn't re-seed and we haven't seen them since.
ReplyDeleteI just noticed today some squash vines beginning to bloom.
ReplyDeleteThese are pretty.
