Splash of color

The pitaya started blooming early last week, little splashes of unbelievably bright magenta in the brown desert.

Not only are the pitaya's blooms gorgeous, the fruit to come is absolutely delicious and similar to strawberries in taste, only sweeter. Very yummy.

Right now, here and there, the desert hills and gullies are dotted with the bright blooms. The blooms don't last long, maybe a week or so, but while they do, we're enjoying the welcome spectacle.
