It is wonderful to all all the different flowers thru the winter. They are all beautiful flowers and I love all the yellow.

Beautiful mosaic of yellow flowers, Diane!
There are many wonderful posts on this blog, maybe you could merge them to Desert Colors?
Thanks Icy, I might "recycle" some of my favorite photos for Desert Colors.
It's nice to see many yellow flowers in a single photo. The mosaic looks beautiful. This blog contains many wonderful photos, which I have enjoyed.Thank you for sharing the photos.
Stunning mosaic! These are such gorgeous desert yellows!
Nice yellow, pictures and collage!:-)
Diane, you put together a delightful yellow desert collage.
I like both your blogs and will follow wherever. Don't think I could keep up with two blogs myself.
Love the flowers that look like threaded coreopsis - the star-like daisy things. The one you call "Dyssodia."
Wow, this is the best MYM photo I've ever seen. You should get an award for this photo.
My MYM is here but it is scheduled for posting after midnight Greenwich time.
I hope everyone enlarges this because while the mosaic is wonderful each individual shot stands on its own merit!
Lovely!
beautiful mosaic of yellow colors Diane, yellow is such a happy color.
i am excited about Desert Colors, I find the desert always interesting and surprising.
Beautiful yellow flower collection! I love the bright color within the desert setting. I will certainly check out your other blog as well!
Lovely yellows! I've really enjoyed your Sabino Canyon blog. Will continue to enjoy your Desert Colours!
Hi Diane
Love yr photos, and it's great to see yellow with cacti. Ooh, there is a bee too.
I enjoy yr photos. Look forward to more posts at Desert Colors. "Desert related art, nature and random weird stuff" - love them all.
Have a good week, Evelyn
What a lovely mosaic of yellow flowers and how good of you to identify each for us with a key. Many are unfamiliar to me ... beach gal that I am ;-)
I know how hard it can be to keep up with multiple blogs ... and wonder occasionally whether it's time to let go of one or more of mine, especially since I have less time currently to spend at the computer than I did when I started blogging.
Hugs and blessings,
My Mellow Yellow
lovely collection of yellow!
My Mellow Yellow.
PS.. Following your blog now.
This is a wonderful way to celebrate a year of blogging! I'll definitely be watching for whatever happens at Desert Colors. :)
Those are lovely yellows.
My Mellow Yellow Monday post.

I don't blame you for wanting to focus on your photography, I'm in that place also. These plants are all so beautiful and thanks for including the names. My husband grew up in a desert and I'm not sure I understand the intricacies of desert living.
I am always amazed at the beauty in the desert any time of the year. HCM.
LOve the mosaic and the colourful pics...
Good Luck for your new blog!
