20 Foot Flowers

20 Foot Flowers

I took a trip to AZ last week to be with my lifelong best friend.

I was stunned and amazed to see these tiny little foot high plants that shot up 20 foot stalks with many cups of flaming flowers on each one. I grew up in AZ and don't ever remember seeing these flaming orange and yellow flowers. The pictures just don't seem to capture the scope of these brazen plants' beautiful flower displays.
