Western Railroad Discussion > Arizona in BloomDate: 05/23/23 11:26 Arizona in Bloom Author: MacBeau One of the great surprises last week came upon reaching Peach Springs, AZ. The entire landscape was covered in Desert globe mallow as this 90 car passed by westbound. Not the greatest light, obviously, but the colors where too enticing to ignore. In total ten different species of wildflowers were discovered in the drive along old 66.

Speaking of old Rt. 66, I snapped this on the trip at Continental Divide, NM. The view faces west, with I-40 on the left, and Rt. 66 on the right. Edited 1 time(s).

Date: 05/24/23 08:27 Re: Arizona in Bloom Author: Gonut1 Nice to see when one considers a desert as a sandy wasteland. My sisters both live in Arizona and the wet spring really livened up the landscape. I've never gotten further west than Texas hill country and when it isn't winter it is green! My one sister said once the temperature hit 100 all her flowers fried!

I wouldn't be kicking any of the small bushes on a hot, sunny day.
