The desert is blooming!

My parents live in Tucson, Arizona, which is in the Sonoran Desert, and they’ve been sending me pictures of the desert blooming the last few weeks.

Tucson has two rainy seasons, one in July-September and one in December-February and this year they’ve gotten more rain than they have in years as Tucson has been in a drought since 2000 and some researchers are saying it’s a megadrought.
