A few moments from my garden include a lovely orange wildflower (poppy maybe?) that came up with all the other weeds brought to life by recent rains. Notice the little bee-hind busy gathering pollen. A close-up of a Callidium leaf- the lighter shaded ones that seem to die after one day. A red and green Callidum leaf- these are long lasting. And a lovely little passion vine spiral that caught my imagination.
Happy Bloomin' Tuesday!

You seem to be able to grow so many things that I can't grow here. It really amazes me what a difference that extra 10 degrees we have has on plant choices. I think our elevation is about the same, so it has to be the heat level. I would love to include some of your plants in my garden, but I've never had luck with any of them!

The orange wildflower is pretty, does look like a poppy. Great capture of the bee! I love the last shot of the passion vine spiral..very nice!
I enjoyed your random garden moments! I have something for you, do drop by when you have time!
Enjoy your day!

You left me a very moving poem about the BEE! I would NOT want to ever think of them as a distant memory!!
THANK YOU for posting it on my comments.It's a keeper for me.
I know that mighty saguaro with its breathtaking blossom on your header! I spend my winters in Scotsdale.
Good for you having such color in your garden with I'm sure scorching temperatures right about now!
Stay cool hugs NG
I have a vacation home in Arizona which is on the Colorado River, the weather there is 115 degrees on a good day how the heck can you get anything to grow in Tucson? I know your weather is probably about the same and we are on the water and still even the weeds don't survive there! I always enjoy looking at your desert flower photos, it gives me hope that at my vacation home I might one day have color!
Love, Ann

Beautiful colors! Love the caldium leaves. Didn't realize some leaves died after a day. Love the last picture. A great moment! Jean
Aiyana: I believe we are actually considered Zone 4 (Mid Altitude) so I am a little higher here which probably accounts for some of it- that and being surrounded by mountains!
We are getting poured on tonight-hope some of it finds its way to you!
Catherine: Thankyou!!!!
Nature Girl: the wonderful poem came from Aiyana- I love it too!
Jean: I believe they only die after one day for ME!
Anne: the rainy summers are Tucson's best kept secret- we definitely have unique weather compared to the more northern parts of fthe state!
Neat pictures for bloomin' tuesday.
I love those curly tendrils on vines...so sweet!!!
