DESERT SPRING

The mountains are green. The desert floor is filled with little buds. Flowers. Thousands. Tiny.

It rained enough this year.

At the condo, things are breaking loose. The cacti pots are still going nuts with the little flowers getting bigger and other cacti just budding now.

The succulents are getting into gear as well.

In the regular garden that we put in last fall, the garlic is blooming and the lavender is going great guns.

Outside the wall, a series of big shrubs turn out to be spring flowering and the blooms are quite pink. Very nice. This is new for us. We haven't been here for spring before and so every development of the prehistoric plants is a nice surprise.

Hibiscus are coming too.

Soon the Palo Verde tree and the Bird of Paradise bush will be starting. By summer they will shade the patio.

It is warm. It is beautiful. It is spring.
