Cactus Flowers at the Arizonian

The Arizonian is an RV park several miles to the east of our winter RV resort. Friends, who used to stay in our resort, now spend their winters at the Arizonian. Brenda lets me know when the saguaro and other cacti are blooming. On March 30th I headed east because the Argentine Giant Cactus was blooming. Brenda's photos were amazing and I did not want to miss the magnificent color. There were so many cacti varieties in bloom and an interesting tree, too.

I do not know the name of most of these, so just enjoy the colors of spring in the desert!

We said goodbye to the desert this morning (Thursday) as we have begun our journey back to SD for the summer.
