2022 Mesquite Tree Blossoms
While on a walk around my relative’s property, I discovered the mesquite tree was in full bloom. Even though the mesquite trees do not have as “pretty” blossoms as the palo verde trees, I wanted to take photographs of the blossoms. I didn’t have my favorite camera with me at that time, so some of the photographs are not as clear as others I took in the past. Despite this, this I like the way some of the photographs turned out.

The Difference Between Mesquite and Palo Verde Tree Blossoms
Hi everyone! Today’s post is going to be an odd one for this blog. Instead of talking about any of my hobbies that I liked to enjoy talking about online, I decided to write a short post about the differences between Mesquite and Palo Verde tree blossoms. I live in Arizona for a very long time and, despite this and the fact I took botany and agriculture classes focused on desert plants, some of the information I learned fell out of my head. One of the more embarrassing things I forgot is the difference between Mesquite and Palo Verde blossoms. The major driving force for why this happened is due…

Cactus Blossoms- April 2019 Part 1
Hi everyone! In April, some of the cactus near where I like to hike began to bloom. I decided to take some photographs of the cactus blossom buds. While looking for other cacti to photograph, I found a cactus that was the same kind of cactus as the first one, but with different colored blossoms. I took more photographs of both cacti’s blossoms after they fully bloomed. Those photographs are coming in a different post. Well, that’s all for now! Thank you for reading!

Cactus Blossom Photographs- August 2018
Hi everyone! For today’s post, I wanted to share a series of photographs I took while I was without my computer. (For more information about that, please read this post) While I was without a computer, the seasonal monsoon storms rolled through my area, giving me a great opportunity to take photos! Although I have at least six posts about the clouds and sunsets from the storm days, I wanted to share the photographs I took of cactus blossoms I took while I photographed the sky. The blossoms are still out and I want to take more photos of them, but that’s all I have to show you right now.…

2018 Spring Ironwood Blossoms
For the last few weeks, I talked about the photos I took of peach tree and Saguaro blossoms. This week, I wanted to share the last set photographs I took of 2018 spring blossoms. The last set of photographs are of Ironwood tree blossoms. Normally, the Ironwood trees near my home do not blossom as much as they did this year. Every single Ironwood tree I saw was covered in lavender purple blossoms. They were so beautiful and I’m so happy I got to see them and take photos of the blossoms!

2016 Peach Tree Blossoms
I was so busy earlier this year that I forgot to post photos of this year’s peach tree blossoms! Since the temperatures in Arizona were unseasonably warm, the peach trees bloomed a month early. Other plants bloomed early as well, but the peach trees where the ones that drew the most attention from bees, butterflies, beetles, and even a hummingbird. Although I was unable to take pictures of all the animals visiting the peach trees, I still have some very nice pictures of the blossoms! Since I took so many pictures of the blossoms, I’m posting a few here. The rest can be found in my Flickr albums for February…

Saguaro Cactus Blossoms and Fruit
If anyone knows about when the Saguaro cactus bloom, they probably think it’s odd I’m making a post about the Saguaro blossoms in the last half of June is a little odd. Saguaros like to bloom in May, not June, but thanks to the unseasonably cool temperatures for May the Saguaros are blooming a little late this year. Some of the Saguaros around where I live already bloomed back in early April and their fruit already fell off, but those particular Saguaros have a track record of blooming early and their fruit falling off early as well. Back in May, I was too ill from the pain my growth spurts…
