 Wildflowers
are one of Tucson's major attractions. Sometimes the wildflower show is
dramatic, sometimes the show is less than dramatic (the amount and timing
of rainfall are critical). Whether dramatic or not, we have flowers blooming
year-round. some wildflowers take advantage of our spring rains, some our
monsoon summer rains, and some can bloom any time of the year. Our wildflowers
may be annual, surviving as a seed between seasons (see adaptations),
or perennials, often surviving only as a stump of their former self between
seasons (drought deciduous). Here are just a few of the common wildflowers
you can expect to see here in Tucson. |
