Desert Flower's

The Desert Flower's are in bloom. This is the time of year I will stop and smell the roses.... Only in this case it is the desert wildflowers (or weeds). We had a healthy amount of rain in the beginning of the year to produce an array of color and sizes. It is amazing how we can live with brown colors around us for so long and then BOOM the color explosion is everywhere. Meadview has a wide variety of flowering plants that you miss because they are so small. If you stop and take a closer look you can find flowers the size of pea's that look like orchids. It's amazing.
