Over the past few weeks, I have been wandering through the neighborhood collecting some photographs of a few of our neighborhood's brilliant blooms.
As the palo verdes (Parkinsonia spp.) gear down from their impressive yellow display, the blossoms begin to create a yellow carpet below.
Different prickly pear species (Opuntia spp.) will continue to flower at different times throughout the summer, after which they will produce their bright pink fruit.

The chollas (Cylindropuntia spp.) found throughout the neighborhood bloom in many different shades of oranges, reds, and yellows.
This house had a stunning display of wildlife flowers.
Lantana (Lantana spp.), although not native to this region, is used quite frequently throughout the neighbohood. This variety is almost blinding in it's brightness.
The desert willows (Chilopsis linearis) are also blooming in abundance right now. Their sweet scent mathces their purple beauty.
What's you favorite spring-time bloom?
