The Desert is in bloom!

Although I miss the green of Washington, the desert can be a beautiful place as well. Our yard has started to bloom and I think the results are so beautiful. All of these pictures are of plants in our yard. Except the cactus with the giant flowers on it (that's from our neighbors yard). We are looking to get one of these so I took a picture to take to the nursery, and decided to snap a few more. The little white flowers are paracantha's on trellis' on our fence (which is a cinder block wall) they have red berries in the winter. We also have our first nectarine's starting to grow after we planted the tree almost 2 years ago, yea!

I love the pictures of the pretty desert flowers. The desert can be beautiful too.

Nectarines... no way! YUMMY! Look how "self-reliant" you are becoming:)
