Desert Cotton is one of the Sonoran Desert’s beautiful plants that is common to the foothills in the Tucson area. The seed capsules will open to show the seeds and only a few cotton fibers.

Capturing The Moment — Desert Cotton In Sabino Canyon 12 comments
Gossypium thurberi (Desert Cotton) — Image by kenne
Naturalist, Bill Kaufman, lead the Sabino Canyon Volunteer Naturalists (SCVN) 2011 Training Class on its first Nature Walk yesterday. One of the many plants he talked about was the Desert Cotton, which is really in the cotton family, but produces very little fluff. The beautiful white blooms turn pink by mid-afternoon, some of which can be seen in the photo below.
The Hohokam Indians, who have lived in the Sonoran Desert for thousands of years were very advanced desert farmers, having domesticated cotton early on making it unlikely they made use of the wild Desert Cotton plants for producing cotton fabric.

Becoming is Superior to Being 
seeds jettisoned
dizzily dancing
riding the wind
capsules abandoned
doors remain open
attraction lost
to the ages
now it’s time
to turn the page
you know it ain’t easy
to see another view
but, these feelings
won’t go away
echoing off all tomorrows
echoing . . .
echoing . . .
