The Desert Blossoms like a Rose

Some of the things that I love about Sahuarita AZ..... These two little munchkins are my favorite part of AZ and we go walking most days or at least outside.....I was able to see the desert start to bloom before I left.......The desert has it's own beauty and I loved it. The rain fall this year was good so the animals and plants like that.I thought this was a cactus bloom but I'm not sure now I look at the pic...and I don't know how to delete it! But the desert seems to favor the yellow and orange flowers. Some areas had a blanket of tiny tiny yellow or orange flowers...miniature. These are some wild and domestic flowers that we walk by on our walking route.

Even the cactus take on an interesting beauty....as I was leaving AZ (it was raining) I saw a few of these and the prickly pear starting to bloom....that is what I was wanting to see the most...beautiful brilliant yellow and dark pinkishpurlples and the cactus are just loaded with buds just waiting for the right temperatures to burst open!

Alexis love the many flowers.... Lexi - "flowers are my favorite"

Some of the Prickly pear are different shades of purple...loaded with buds ready to pop!


One of my favorite...some of the bushes were loaded with this unique bloom
Our neighbor lady had some of these mounds of rose moss...pictures don't show just how beautiful they are against the desert floor.


This was my attempt to blog some of the beauty of Spring in the desert....pictures do not show it well enough.
