Arizona Wild Flower
Wildflower Pictures And Photos

Page Two, The Low Sonoran Desert

George And Audrey DeLange

Plants shown on this page are mostly a little later blooming, lower elevation, Sonoran Desert, Arizona plants. These plants bloom from about the last week of March through the end of May. Remember, these dates are subject to change due to the temperature and rainfall of any given year.

This page is still under construction. Some plants are not named (I need to research them). Some pictures need to be added to the page. I should have this done in a few days.

I've visited some of the other life zones this week and some plants are just starting to bloom in the higher elevations that have already bloomed in the lower elevations.

Other pages will follow. See links at botttom of page.
