Flowers in the Desert

Flowers in the desert?  Why of course!  Although there's extremes in temperatures, growing flowers,(I especially love perennials)  in the desert is not impossible, in fact it's rather easy.  If I can grow them, anyone can.  Of course, drip irrigation is a must.   Plant different varieties that will give you color all through the year.  Plant flowers that you can cut, herbs you can use, anf fruit you can eat. 


Here's what's blooming now in the back yard.  
 Coreopsis
Perrenial Geranium - Cranesbill
Silver Mound Artemesia - Smells wonderful, pretty silver foliage
Paprika Yarrow - It survived!
Rose - Possibly Christian Dior
Yellow Summer Squash - Do you see the little squash?

Bearded Iris

David Austin Roses
Apricots - Aready had some - yummy - sunshine in my mouth
English lavender - maybe I'll make some lavender cookies or maybe tea?
