FAIRY DUSTER
A Fairy Duster is a shrub native to arid grasslands and deserts in the southwest U.S. and Mexico. The flowers appear in late winter and early spring. Fairy Dusters are very unique with their pink stamens.
I love these shrubs…. last year all their berries shriveled… this year I hope for more… we call them “sqawberry bushes” as a person with Native roots I am not offended – this is a beautiful shrub
I always love the Fairy Dusters. Isn’t it wonderful how the desert puts out such beautiful and unusual blooming vegetation? I remember that the Sonoran Desert in particular is relatively young – about 8,000 old. The plants and trees evolved from a semi-tropical landscape to what we see today. Those once were tropical flowering species. Thanks for the great photography and posts.
