Tucson spring flowers
--are starting to appear, and it's raining as I write this. Assuming
this turns out to be a decent storm, we may have a decent spring show... [crosses fingers] Anyway, I took an afternoon walk yesterday on "A" mountain, and was pleasantly surprised with a nice show of bladderpods, bluedicks (brodea sp?) and a few brittlebush. Plus a nice green fuzz in the desert, prominsing more to come, given H2O. This was on the trail that starts from the saddle where the round-the-mountain road becomes one-way. Conveniently for photographers, the best flowers were within 100 yds of the trailhead, and make a nice contrast to the dark volcanic cobbles they're growing in -- and being warmed by, which is why they're early. Nothing else I've seen around town (N side), except the odd early brittlebush. Any other flower previews for AZ? Cheers -- Pete Tillman Tucson (Catalina foothills) |
