When we returned from our visit to California yesterday, I found that I had missed our red epiphyllum flower during the week. 🙁 However, the pink epiphyllum was in full bloom. 🙂 Click on the image to enlarge.
Petroglyphs Along US 60
For as long as we have been traveling back and forth between California and Arizona, today marked the first time we stopped to see these Native American petroglyphs along US 60 near Salome, AZ. According to a guide book we bought in a NPS visitor center, some of these could be as old a 1,700 years. Click on the image to enlarge.
Red and White Amaryllis
A pair of my red and white amaryllis opened this week. This is a photo I took today of both flowers. Click on the image to enlarge.
A Pretty Pink Gerbera Daisy
While we were in Arizona, this pretty pink Gerbera daisy opened up in a pot on the patio. I guess the rains this year have done a pretty good job of keeping my flowers watered. Click on the image to enlarge.
Peanut Cactus Blooms
Echinopsis chamaecereus is the official name for this cactus. “Peanut” comes from the small pods that if dislodged from the cactus will easily take root. We’re going to take this little cactus with us when we return to Arizona and re-plant it there. Click on the image to enlarge.
Mom’s Pink Geraniums
Today, April 23, 2011 is Mom’s ninety-first birthday! We drove to her house this morning and spent a couple of hours visiting. Verna took this picture of a geranium flower cluster on one of the bushes in Mom’s yard. Click on the image to enlarge.
