and yellow. 
Sunflowers reach for the sky,
chicory provides a bit of blue,
and the yucca plants get fancy. 
The delicate sego lily, Utah's state flower is yet another special treat. (Those are little bugs on it. I guess they wanted a treat, too!)
Hi Janie, I love seeing the desert flowers... So pretty. I didn't know that the Sego Lily is Utah's state flower.... Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great Father's Day weekend.
Hugs,

I love to see these high desert blooms. Should be seeing more here too, soon.
ReplyDeleteThe sego lily is a striking choice for the Utah state flower. All of your blossoms are gorgeous, and the yellow flower on the prickly pear is one of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteThe cactus flowers are so pretty. I can't believe all the color up so high.
ReplyDeleteGreat photographs! I love how colorful desert plants can be.
ReplyDeleteYou've shared some beautiful desert flowers with us. I'm afraid we don't often think of beautiful flowers and desert at the same time. Thanks for the education.
ReplyDeletelovely flower's
ReplyDeleteYour desert in bloom is fabulous. I really like the shot of the Sego Lily!
ReplyDeleteIt surprises me that there are so many flowers in the desert! And beautiful ones too!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots--our Sego Lillies look a little different. I'll have to double-check now when they bloom (late July or Aug) to make sure I've got the right species!
ReplyDeleteMother Nature paints a beautiful desert pallet, doesn't she Janie. Thanks for the colorful desert journey, I enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteThey are so pretty!! We might go to Canyonlands next week and I'm hoping to see some blooming cacti.
