The Ocotillo is in bloom!!!!!!

We have waited for this to happen and here it is!!!! Our very own Ocotillo flower. One of several but this is the first!!!

Strange weekend just gone. We wern't quite full but we had visitors in from Arizona, Ohio, New Mexico and, of course, California. All I can say to one of our day guests, (no names, but really ) ..... I thought you had at least a modicum of standards or taste. Obviously I was wrong! Yeukieee!!!
