The wildflowers are starting to bloom
I went to visit my dear Mother who is a snowbird in Apache Junction, up by Phoenix. I drove up the back way through Florence, where there are miles of gorgeous desert views and wildflowers in bloom. It was a perfect spring day in Arizona with a blue sky that stretched on and on. The wildflowers were not as abundant as some years I have seen but there were still quite a few blooming and many more getting ready to bloom. I stopped several times to take pictures. See the little spider hiding under the bloom of what i think is a Desert Marigold.

Dee, thanks for visiting my desert blog (desertsouthwest). I ADORE yours! I actually planted my summer garden yesterday afternoon!...tomatoes, peppers, zucchini! Can't wait for the veggies to grow! Have a great weekend!

nice perspective on the flowers! the spider really blends in well too.
That spider looks like he might be a close color match for the flower? Maybe he's a little bug ambusher?
So glad I found your blog! My parents, bro & Sis-in-law all live in Tucson, and I've been looking for a good gardening resource for them.
Dee,
Just a quick note to let you know that I added your blog to the blog roll today after seeing you filled out the form.
Those spiders are really cool looking. I posted a shot of one on my blog about a year ago. I grabbed my camera to snap a pic of a butterfly, yet as it turned out, the the butterfly was actually being dined on by a yellow crab spider just like yours.
These photos are just lovely!
Your site gives me a chance to see a different region of plants/flowers and I'm looking forward to coming back often!
the yellows are just stunning! Glad I found you.
