old world plants - blooming aloe





... the spectacular February 12th, early spring, bloom of the aloe shown in my January 10th post




















a brief but sweet spring

gila were plentiful this spring at dreamy draw recreation area  
along the 220 & 100 trail


Rains came late and the heat came early so we had a different mix of wildflowers this year at Dreamy Draw.










a lupine stands alone
