Flowers
A Very Late Cholla Flower
We went out on the patio last evening and I saw something yellow on the cholla across the RV drive to the west. I thought it was a cholla flower, but it’s really late in the flowering season for new buds. But, there it was.
I looked for flowers on the other cholla on the property and could not see any. I also looked for more buds on this cholla and, likewise, found none. This one flower is very pretty, though. Click on the image to enlarge.
Courtyard In Bloom
I stood just inside the courtyard gate and snapped this photo of all the pretty red birds and Cleveland sage in bloom. It is a cloudy day with a chance of more monsoon clouds forecast for later. Last night, we had a dandy lightning and thunder show with some steady rain. Click on the image to enlarge.
Red Birds Doing Great
There are three of these “Pride of Barbados” red bird of paradise shrubs in my courtyard . All of them have lots of these beautiful little flowers opening every day.
We have had some fairly heavy monsoon weather over the past week, but these little guys hold up very well in the wind and rain. Click on the image to enlarge.
