See how the rain sat on my blooming bush? It's an Australian bush that really thrives in Arizona's brutal sunshine.


This one decided to be very nice a few days ago. Like many cactus flowers they only lasted a day or two.


This little guy is a Pink Fairy Duster. I have a Red Fairy duster that's a big bush and blooms all year with similar scarlet flowers. This pink one is a much smaller plant, and only blooms in the spring. It had a rough winter, but I'm glad to see it bloomed.

These are beautiful pictures. I love how delicate the Pink Fairy Duster looks, like it really could send out fairy dust.
The flower on the cactus looks a lot like the straw flowers that I grow..they feel like they have been dried and preserved on the plant.

The fairy dusters have lots of nectar which attracts hummingbirds.
