Promise not to whine about the heat...
It's just about all a dry climate anyway...

Warning: Good site to go if you love Native American music as I do... but very dangerous $$$-wise!

Hey Dream, seen a lot of those places, with the exception of high altitude spots most flower blooms are best viewed in early spring. The Big Bend area in Texas has a long season, with three rivers and a oasis in the middle. In the Sonora desert Az. the Saguaro cactus fields just south a the Superstitions are quite the sight to see.

The site neglects to mention the high desert that stretches up to Oregon, there, one could find many varieties of the same flowers found in the South West, but with their own unique character. Oh, and it's closer to you!

Glad you like the site MaidMarian...

Thanks for all those links Sandbox! B)
Clearly I need to see much more of Oregon... Most of the considerable time I've spent there was in the Portland area and the coast from the north to the south of it, and through the north wherever the road between here and there went... 
I've seen the better part of the Sonoran Desert on this map... north of Mexico except where we dipped a little south of the border at Yuma to some place I can't remember the name of... scored a very cool and "big" metal wall thingy of Rusty Wallace's Grand Prix there though...

This was a neat stop for an afternoon and early evening in the Tuscon Area
Love Tuscon!
