Seven Poppies — Photo-Artistry by kenne
Choosing one path means abandoning others —
if you try to follow every possible path
you will end up following none.
— Paulo Coelho
This time of year Picacho Peak State Park is an excellent example of the biodiversity of the Sonoran Desert.
Plants are at the greenest and wildflowers provide dots of color on the desert canvass.
The canvass of the desert
may appear to have no order.
Yet it is orderly,
but we don’t know why.
A poet has said;
If you want to know
where the flowers came from,
not even the spring goddess knows.

This is the time of year for some outstanding wildflower displays in the Tucson area, and we are having a banner year. The desert is quick to display its beauty after abundant rains we have experienced this winter.

“Things of Poetry” — Computer Art by kenne
Poppies
line the canyon trail,
brightening
each hiker’s way.
Passing greetings
share the joy
as the morning sun
intensifies
the canyon colors
brilliantly reflected
by each poppy,
the things
of O’Keeffe —
real poetry.

Most Sonoran desert wildflowers are annuals, which are short-lived even when there’s timely rain. Sabino Canyon has had no rain since December 20th.  Oddly enough, limited rain and a short lifespan helps ensure survival in the desert. With the lack of rain and warmer than normal temperatures the annuals have been quickly sprouting and blowing before the dryness and heat kills the plant.Â
