We stopped at the garden shop for a few supplies today. While there, as usual, I took pictures of some of the pretty flowers on display. According to the label, this is a Khmer Pure Pink Ginger. Click on the image to enlarge.

We used a coupon to get a discount on a dozen Vendela roses on Friday. I arranged them in the vase where I already had some Asian ‘Stargazer’ Lilies. Click on the image to enlarge.

You can’t see them yet, but maybe in late September, we will have some hot pink devil flowers crowning this Devil’s Tongue Cactus. You can see the beginning of the flower pods near the crown of the barrel cactus. Click on the image to enlarge.

I snapped this photo of a dahlia currently in bloom on the patio. I’m not sure of the name of this variety, but it sure is a pretty flower, just like most dahlias. Click on the image to enlarge.

Just as we got off of I-10 this afternoon in Ehrenberg, AZ, Verna snapped this image of the Colorado River with a beautiful mountain range in the distance. I cropped her image to render this nice panoramic image. Click on the thumbnail above to see the full-sized panorama.

We visited Alamo Lake, one of Arizona’s State parks yesterday. It was pretty hot (106°) but we enjoyed a picnic and walking to the edge of the lake where I got this panoramic image of the lake and the four-lane boat ramp. Click on the thumbnail to see the full-sized panorama.
