Flowers of the desert

What is the desert... For most of us, the desert is a place where almost nothing can be found. It is not a very accurate description, but... it's good enough, isn't it? In fact, a lot can be found in a desert and the flowers are the most amazing things you can see there. But... honestly... this is not exactly desert pictures I am about to share with you. Just some plants and flowers growing on a small patch of the land nearby. But it still gives you an exact feeling of a desert.

 

The first thing you can see there is the dry cracked dirt. The soil looks absolutely loveless and tough...

But if you can see plants here and there... Small once, but still green and thriving. Isn't it a miracle?

White Prickly Poppy. This flower seems to be born for this harsh and rouge environment and feels just right here.

The Puncture Vine is another plant you are not surprised to find here. It creates a greate web, claiming more and more space and dragging every drop of water from the ground. I'd say - it's a perfect desert flower too (even I am not sure if it can grow in the real desert).

These succulents definitely came from the desert and are well equipped for life with no water and a lot of sun... 

And the poppies again. Never tired looking at them!
