This truly was an exceptional year. I wonder if we will ever see it like this again. My allergies were just as bad as the flowers were beautiful though;-) Small price to pay!
DeleteThe desert is hot, dusty, dry and immense! In between all of that are these impressive flowers. Colorful blooms in fragile, spindly stems and prickly, hearty succulents exploding!
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are just fabulous and I know you enjoyed every moment of capturing them so perfectly. Hey, you even know all their names! Good for you!
Yay desert.
