The tall plant is an ocotillo cactus with pretty orange blooms way out on the ends. If you look closely you can see the oranges on the neighbor's tree (at the left).
Here's a closeup of the pretty lavender flowers in the neighbor's yard.
This pink bougainvillea is under a huge tree and gets way too much shade so it isn't usually this colorful.
And here is some more bougainvillea at the back of our house.
I do love these flowery bushes, even though they have thorns. I like your palms and other tropicals too, Charlotte.
ReplyDeleteWOW...so beautiful. Thank you so very much for sharing.

Simply beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWe have one of those ocotillo cactus plants too. I didn't know the name of it though so thank you. I love the pretty buds on the ends that are so colorful.
Hugs to you Charlotte,

Oh so very beautiful and so very much work. I will go outside and take a picture of my dirt. No work at all :-)
ReplyDeleteHow do you pronounce that plant? It so fascinates me. I have never seen it before until you put it on your blog last year. It is a trophy plant.
ReplyDeleteI love bougainvillas. I have one...my husband hates them...but now that we have someone trimming our bushes...I may sneak some more in!!

ReplyDeleteThis is what I found when I looked it up online. I've been misspelling it.

All of your flowers look so pretty! I love the water sound that you have playing. I came home for lunch today and sat out back and listen to the birds and the water, needles to say I didn't want to go back to work:(.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful evening,

oooooh, how stunning!!! your yard is just gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteI love all your desert beauty, thanks for sharing those photos! Your bougainvillea is simply stunning! Such a large shrub! We're lucky to keep a potted plant alive here! (Hubby tried; it was pretty last year, but it nearly died. It's growing tiny little leaves now, though, so we still have hope.)
ReplyDeleteYour garden is beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteActually, I have been to Arizona...
My friend moved back to Glendale to care for her Dad for a year and we went to visit her there. Arizona and the colours remind me of Central Australia..so beautiful!
Hugs.
I love bougainvillea but have never had any luck growing it here in Florida. Yours is incredibly beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHugs!
