Desert Plants

 


The desert will be heating up later this week.  We've had a tiny bit of a reprieve these last two weeks with temps in the 80's and 90's but by Saturday it's supposed to top 100 again.  

One last walk at the Desert Botanical Garden so I can admire the beauty of the desert.  Above is an ocotillo bloom that looked especially nice against a blue sky.

To the left is a patch of prickly pear cacti surrounding a tall cactus.









In this photo we have three nicely shaped agave plants tucked into a patch greenery.  The desert has its own way of surviving the heat.

Tough and prickly on the outside, soft and juicy on the inside.

Desert plants exemplify tough beauty.
