Our landscaper recently referred to October as being the “second spring.” You can see that this compass cactus agrees with him. Click on the image to enlarge.

Devil’s Tongue Flowers
Arizona’s ‘second spring’ is bringing out new flowers on the cacti around town. I saw an open saguaro flower today and I have never seen so many flowers on my devil’s tongue barrel than today. Click on the image to enlarge.

Red Bird Close Up
With Summer ending this week, I am glad that we’re still getting our red bird of paradise flowers. Enjoy them while you can! Click on the image to enlarge.
Colorful Asian Lilies
My office desk is graced with these beautiful red and orange lilies. The flower concession at the supermarket had these on sale for half price, so I got two colors. 🙂 Click on the image to enlarge.
Rosebud and Skylight
I got a bouquet of roses yesterday. I took one of the buds and put it in a bud vase in the little bathroom. The lighting is from a skylight that our contractor installed in the bathroom. He installed another one in the laundry, both of which take advantage of the seemingly endless sunlight to illuminate those rooms without the need for artificial light during the day.
