I wandered around Tohono Chul gardens yesterday in the warm desert sunshine and was amazed at how many plants are blooming! I don't know the names of all of these, but they spanned the rainbow.
Red penstemon?
Yellow brittlebrush
Mexican sunflowers
Butterfly
Tohono Chul has some wonderful water features. In the video above I was at a streamside garden where I spent awhile in one of the chairs with a nicely reclined back. The adobe wall below features water cascading from one pot to another, making a delightful trickling sound.
Holly agaves
Not all the plants have colorful flowers, but there were plenty of shades and shapes of green.

Prickly pear cactus (foreground), palo verde tree, saguaro in background and a Tucson Mountain peak on the horizon.
Art is scattered throughout the gardens.
I love this glimpse of sunlight from the palm oasis and the rocking chairs under a shade canopy. Tohono Chul is a wonderful place to relax.
Have a colorful day
