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.

    All your captures are beautiful! Love the angle you took of the cactus, and the rock formation is stunning:)

    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. :-)
