Desert Snow and Prickly Pears

 

I spent most of my day yesterday doing a major clear-out.  My clear-out started as a minor search for something but it rapidly grew into a much bigger project.  Consequently, I didn't have anything new to post so I looked back at the photos I took when I visited the Desert Botanical Garden back in July.  Above is a plant called a Desert Snow bush. It does look like a patch of snow in amongst the greenery.

I also took this photo of a prickly pear cactus with lots of colorful fruit on it.  I framed it so that memorial wall was in the background.  I wrote about that wall back in 2019 and included both day and night photos of it.

The prickly pears look just about ripe enough to eat.

With a photo archive, you always have something special to post.

I don't want to think about snow for a few more months but that bush looks nice, Sharon.

Nice photo of the cactus in front of the wall. The white plant looks a bit like "dusty miller."
