Here are four Ocotillo in in bloom in the desert. They look dead. Deader than a doornail! However you can just about see the small, bright, orange flowers at the ends of the stalks that I showed you in the post above! You sure are not aware of the blossoms at all when you first see the plant. It is only when you get close that you see that flash of orange.
I can barely see the flowers in bloom even when i enlarged the photo. Looks so bare and desolate...betsey
ReplyDeleteBetsey: It is just that, bare and desolate. Unless we look really closely. And there is a beauty in that desolation.
