Part 2: Bouquet contributors

Although everyone like a panorama, it is also nice to see things up close and personal, so here are some of the contributors to the bouquet in Red Rock this month.  These daisies were not as easy to catch as the globe mallows since they grow individually and not in bushes (Blue wonders what could be so interesting when nothing furry is in view):

Did you notice that flowring cactus hiding behind these mallows in the photo above (would never show up in a panoramic shot):

The cacti were not plentiful, but when they were in sight, they were hard to miss:

Globe mallows and daisies dominated the bouquet (pay no attention to the date, it is wrong):

BUT: there were other flowers as well, and I don't know what they are called (a long time ago I relaized that just because you can name something or someone does not mean you understand them, greatly lessening my urge to look up names for things that are deliciously enjoyable [true 'eye candy'] whether a name is applied or not.  So let's just look at some of the itty bitty flowers also growing with exuberance among there giants:

That is enough, even though I can never get enough of this type of 'eye candy.'  On the next page we will see what there burnt out stumps were amongst the flowers.
