This week it seems like everything is in bloom, even the oak trees.
I was impressed by the number of buds on this bilberry cactus, Myrtillocactus geometrizans (also called blue candle cactus).
The honey bees have a lot of different blooms to chose from, but these cactus flowers were popular.
Sorry the photos aren’t better, I had to use my phone.
We’ve also had a bunch of pallid-winged grasshoppers. They seem to like to sit on my car for some reason.
We are expecting extreme heat this weekend (107°F!!). Hopefully it doesn’t harm the plants and insects.
How is the weather where you are? Can you find any insects this week?
