Contrasts

After we toured the Mediterranean Conservatory at the Albuquerque Botanical Gardens on Sunday, Don and I headed over to the Desert Conservatory.
What a contrast in humidity, colors and textures.
A Baja fairy duster, named so because its red flowers are shaped like miniature feather dusters.

Don and I visited the Albuquerque Botanical Gardens yesterday for the Winter Fire Colors Flower Show.
The show featured flowers in hot colors from Mediterranean climates.
There were eye-catching green globes of hanging sedums.
And cyclamens in shades of pinks and purples.
Forest lily.
Chilean bellflower.
