Desert in bloom at Picacho Peak

The blossoming Mexican Poppies provide a carpet of color at the foothills of Picacho Peak near Tucson, Arizona. Upon closer inspection one finds other less abundant wildflowers, including Desert Lupine, Desert Chicory, Redstem Stork’s Bill, and Scorpionweed, which have also taken advantage of "winter" moisture in order to show their colors.
