A Variety of Spring Blooms

 

I'm enjoying seeing flowers in a variety of places right now. Our weather in the Phoenix area allows us to have flowers all year long but, they seem more intense to me in the spring months.  Above is a row of pots filled with blooms that I saw in Scottsdale.

To the right, some bougainvillea petals in the late afternoon sun.

Above are some African daisies that were growing at the Desert Botanical Garden.  I love these with the blue centers.

And, to the left some lavender growing in front of a wall. There is a story to go with this last shot.  I had an early morning appointment to get my hair cut and the place I go has this wall separating the building from the parking lot with lavender growing in front of the wall. When I got out of my car, I reached for my iPhone to snap a photo and discovered I had left my phone at home.  About that time, my hairdresser arrived and asked what I was looking at.  I told him I was admiring the lavender and was going to take a photo but forgot my phone.  When I got home and picked up my phone, this photo was texted to me.  He went back outside after I left and took the photo and sent it to me.  He's such a nice guy!
