It’s May here in the Oak Savannah desert of Southeastern Arizona. This is when the flowers really come out. They are small, you have to carefully look for many of them. A few are bold, most are petite but oh-so-pretty. Here are some of the ones I’ve found this year so far, plus some currently available flower-inspired jewels and a couple throwback photos of necklaces that captured the essence of these Spring blooms.
