Road Trip

With all the Winter and Spring rain we have had this year, the Arizona Desert wildflowers are in full bloom. While Mom was down from Flagstaff for a couple of days we decided a look at the wildflowers was a good excuse for a road trip.
Lupin was in bloom...

along with Desert Marigold...

this one was occupied...

Mom said this purple one is called "Owl's Eye Clover"...and Mom knows her wildflowers.

The orange flowers are Globemallow.

While really not a wildflower...the hot pink color of the flowers on this Cactus were spectacular.

Please pass the tissues

Okay...one more Flagstaff picture. The meadows, on the way up the mountain, were a sea of yellow, from all the blooming wildflowers. It was a "stop worthy" photo. These beautiful wildflowers are also probably the reason why everybody in Flagstaff has hay fever this time of year!
