Wildflowers (and HTML)

[ellarien]

The desert along I10 between Tucson and Phoenix is really blooming. I first noticed it yesterday somewhere north of Marana, when I had to look up from building an Excel index because the rattling bus was making me slightly travel-sick; the median was bright with poppies, almost solid orange in places. Up towards Picacho Peak the flowers were having a harder time dealing with the construction work, but there were pools of blue lupines. (Which are not to be confused with lupins, though I think they're related.) So far, though, the bloom doesn't seem to have spread to the slopes of the Peak itself as I've seen it do in other years. Further north it's mostly yellow brittlebush, but quite a lot of that.

I dreamed HTML last night, and I may again tonight, but I think the index is done, bar one missed link that won't seem to take in the "published" version no matter what I do.

This makes good hearing. All the rain has really delayed the wildflowers and I was afraid we weren't going to get any but if they are blooming there now, we should get them in Phoenix within a few weeks. \o/
