September Blooms Outside My Door



The growth on my Desert Willow tree, (Chilopsis linearis), is beginning to slow down.  The leaves will fall in December.  However, there were a few flowers left.


The recent monsoon storms have caused my 'Rio Bravo' Sage, (Leucophyllum langmaniae), to burst out in flower.


 Beautiful, magenta brachts surrounding the tiny, cream-colored Bougainvillea flower.



 I love the multi-colored blooms of my Lantana 'Patriot Desert Sunset'.  They will soon stop blooming for the winter.


The vibrant colors of my Red Bird-of-Paradise, (Caesalpinia pulcherrima).  In another month, the flowers will be gone.....

My Mother-in-law lives in St. george, Utah and has these Desert Willows growing outside her condo. At least ,I think that's what they are! Such bright, vibrant blossoms!
