Garden Walks in July, Part 3

 

July of 2020 gave me another after-the-storm opportunity for a walk.  You can see the rain droplets on this desert rose bloom.

This barrel cactus was also soaking up the water.  It was also crowned with a circle of pretty blooms. 

In 2025, I also got a July walk at the garden.  That gives me a bit of hope that I might get one this year.  I photographed this agave plant with another plant growing up through its branches.

I also found some pretty blooms on the guayacan plant which surprised me.  I didn't expect to see these blooms in the July heat.

That's my round-up of Desert Botanical Garden July visits.  Hopefully all this effort to find photos from July will pay off with a nice, cooling monsoon storm in the next few weeks.
