More May Color

I am continuing with the photo journey down my street.
The plant in the middle of this photo is an ornamental grass in bloom. Please notice the bumps on the top of the Saguaro. They are buds that will turn into creamy white blossoms. See the result on the last photo posted.


Forsythia in my planter.



A large cactus.

This is a Saguaro in blossom. The O'odham Indians knock the fruit off with long poles and make jam, jelly, candy and other goodies from it. To see how this fruit is harvested click on the link below.
