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.
ReplyDeleteDesert plants exemplify tough beauty.
ReplyDeleteThey are better with the heat than we are, Sharon.
ReplyDeleteThe desert has such unique plants, some are quite architectural in appearance.
