We are lucky enough to live in a place that has flowers and blooms year round. Summer is no exception! Yes it is hot, but that is what your pool is for! Summer residents are treated to the bright and vibrant blooms that come only when the desert heats up! Bougainvilla around our pool loves the sun and although we have flowers year round, this decorative vine loves the summer! Roses thrive in the desert too, although their bloom is short in the heat.
Cactus bloom like crazy here in the summer. This little catus has produced these cheerful white flowers all summer... but you better get up early because they bloom at night and are gone by the time you are through with lunch!

Wild flowers are native to our area and many flower seekers come in the spring to see the bloom. Some years, when we have significant rains in the winter we are treated to amazing wildflower displays! Anza Borrego State Park about an hour from here is famous for it's abundant wildflowers every spring! It is the largest state park in California with five hundered miles of dirt roads, 12 wilderness areas, and numerous hiking trails!

If you love flowers and blooms, the desert will not disappoint in the summer or the winter!
