There’s just something about Spring! Then there’s Spring in the Desert!
I am amazed when a thorny cactus blooms into a jaw dropping swoon worthy blossom!
Bees π can be found all over the desert gathering nectar and pollinating various plants.
Desert lovers can’t get enough of their cacti but also enjoy all desert plants that bring forth spring blooms!
With Spring, the days get warmer here in the desert so refreshing areas are sought after.

Your just gorgeous photo essay did indeed make me soon dear Nancy. Always a while behind up here further north for spring bloom. Just breathtaking each spring. I’ve been wondering about the wildflower bloom this year as we have had just about no rain, no winter.
Just a lovely batch of photos, you do promote the area at it’s colorful best with this one.
Happy Easter to you- JoHanna
The wildflowers are few and far between. I have see a few… even lupines. Our hedgehogs are just starting. Way behind because of the lack of rain. Thanks for the love!!
Thanks Nancy – I hope to move to AZ next year and this just whet my appetite even more!!! Loved it.
Glad you visited! Thereβs lots to see here!
You make me want to move to the desert! Gorgeous!
Itβs a lovely place! June, July and August are hot… but thatβs what pools are for. Lol!
