Arizona Foldwing – Dicliptera resupinata — Images by kenne
Although blog entries haven’t shown it lately, I have spent a lot of time in Sabino Canyon observing and learning a much a I can in training to become a Sabino Canyon Volunteer Naturalist (SCVN). One of the ways I learn is to take images, identify the plant or animal and post it on the blog and/or in my Flickr account. The conditions in the desert are now very dry, but it hasn’t stop the foldwing from doing its thing. It blossoms in the Spring, Summer (after the summer monsoon rains) and early Fall. As you can see, the bees are taking advantage of the blossoms still being around. Click here to learn more about this plant at fireflyforest.com.
