Desert In Bloom
Following my post of Dec.12 there is an after effect of all the rain we have received this year. The most in over 10 years.
First there was the open pit mine that was filled with water after only 24 hours of rain. Now it is mostly empty and you can see the cabin and oil tank now in their right place, no longer floating.
The most beautiful after effect are the wadi’s in bloom.

Millions of lavender flowers have sprung up and in places we are waist deep in them.
Bees everywhere and the dust is held at bay at least for now.
But in the end the cows and goats continue with their foraging habits, although they are much fatter than last year.

All that lavender must smell awesome. I wonder how that would change the quality of the bees honey...
How long does the flowering season last before the dust bowl returns?
Your readers must click and enlarge the pictures to see them better. Imagine all those seeds waiting in the soil for the rain that might come. The cow is positively pudgy!
It was so good to see your pictures. I loved the flowers.
The flowers are lavender coloured but are not lavender are far as I can tell. There is very little aroma. The flowers are finished now and the heat is rising (34C). We had a dust storm last week too.
