xerophilous

adapted to a very dry climate or habitat, or to conditions where moisture is scarce




anyone know what these flowers are?








Photos are from my trips to Arizona in Decembers of 2012 and 2013.

  2. I loved all of the xeriscaping I saw in Arizona. In fact, I brought a little cactus back with me as my carryon item, haha. :-)
