March and April are filled with wildflowers here in the desert. Yellow California poppies start the color show. We hiked in Catalina State Park on March 4 and saw these lovely flowers all over. It was in the eighties and lovely. There were also lupine and owl's clover.
By March 3 the Tombstone rose bushes surrounding the waterfalls at the resort were in full bloom. They don't have thorns!
The palo verde trees are covered in yellow blossoms, Tom said they reminded him of forsythia although the blooms last much longer and the flowers look rather like little orchids. As I write this there are still some blossoms on trees outside the window about two months after they started.
Lots of yellow, but wait until you see the cacti!
