There are days we live
as if death were nowhere
in the background; from joy
to joy to joy, from wing to wing,
from blossom to blossom to
impossible blossom, to sweet impossible blossom.

The perfect desert flower

Dressed yellow and orange

Catching the suns bright colors

 

The Mexican Bird of Paradise is one of my favorite desert plants. It blooms all summer without any special irrigation. There are several plants in our yard.
