Alley Flowers

Spring is full blown in Tucson.
With spring comes high winds
dust
allergies
and lots of glorious flowers!

I went wandering in the alleys the other day and brought back a few to share with you!

  4. Thank you all :) They are unique...my favorite flowers are from the Prickly Pear...I love how they are so big and bold, and come in so many colors. It's something I never expected when I moved here from the Midwest.

    The first flower is that of the Cat-Claw Vine, or Macfadyena unguis-cati (my most favorite latin name...try saying it ten times fast).
