Lots of Fairy Duster (Calliandra) this year. It is a favorite of the hummingbirds, I still have to figure out how they get their tongues into these threadlike petals.
One of the many Daleas, perhaps Dalea Formosa, Indigo bush.
Sand Verbena, which grows wild as well as all through our yard.
Longleaf Ephedra, also known as Mormon Tea. It was used by native tribes as a medicinal plant.
Cacti are setting bud, agaves are sending up stalks, but I will show them some other time.

Our bio-diversity is stunning. These are all beautiful and vaguely fami,iar, yet completely adapted to a totally different growing cuture. Love it!
The desert must be lovely now.
Love the flowers, was there spring rains?
We had 2 inches of rain in early March, and it helped blooms along no doubt.
