The purple magic happened again! Tucson's Texas Rangers have been bursting into bloom over the last few days.
The plants in an entire area will burst into bloom overnight, triggered by just the right muggy conditions.
They're glorious, lining parking lots and neighborhoods. I took photos of the ones above from my car today -- they were all in commercial parking lots.
Mine had buds on them last night, and when I got up this morning they were in full bloom! That's mine above and below.
You can see how big they are. They're also called Texas Sage. The leaves are a fuzzy sage green and the flowers a beautiful soft purple. The bees love them.
And in case you missed last night's crescent moon in your part of the world, here's how it looked from my house hanging over the desert at sunset.
Have a colorful day

The blooms are lovely! I love the combination of sage green and the purple flowers! Do they also have a nice fragrance? And how long do the blooms usually last? You have such a wonderful variety of blooms there!
Lovely images. It is amazing how some plants burst into full bloom over night. Here in SCalifornia the plumerias seem to do that. Right now they are in full bloom in every color.
Thanks for sharing your blossoms.
