If you happen to visit the Southwest in spring, take a drive out into the desert. After a spate of winter storms, the seemingly "dead" landscape will delight the senses. The desert has awakened and burst into color almost overnight.
Wildflowers on a bed of light green stretch endlessly. Mexican poppies, lupine, brittlebush and penstemon are but a few.
Then there are the cactus displaying flowers among their thorns. One of the most unusual is the ocotilla. Most of the year its branches wave into the air, looking dead. After winter rains and the sun warms, tiny leaves burst forth. Then the flowers appear, bright reddish orange, at the ends of the stems.
Wildflowers and their beauty are short lived. But this design will brighten your tree throughout the years.
