New color

9 06 2026

The four o’clock flowers are blooming now in Spring Creek Basin’s Chrome’s Point area (western area), and the prickly pear cacti have started opening their flowers. It’s a nice and welcome bit of color in the desert while we wait for monsoons to bring the land to life.

Promising clouds … but they didn’t drop rain on the basin.

The whole big plant, and this *is* a big one.

Very spiky prickly pear (I don’t know the actual kind) with the most delicate, peachy blossoms.

Lots of goodness in there for the bees and other buzzers!
