What a wonderful array of shapes and colors Diane. Each is so unique.
What a beautiful mosaic! All of the blossoms are so pretty. I would exchange fresh blossoms like those for colored leaves any day! Have a beautiful new week...Kathy
I love Tucson, it's so beautiful and the air is so clean there. I was born in Casa Grande AZ and lived in Eloy and Toltec. I remember many school trips to see the Arizona/Sonora Desert Museum, Old Tucson and Saint Xavier Mission.
Beautiful!!! Such a great array of plants and blooms!!!
what lovely flowers!
What a wonderful mosaic...so nice that you labeled the flowers..I'm always wondering what others are planting.
What beautiful flowers! I love how you tell us what they are too!
I love them all. Nice mosaic Diane.
It's nice to see many different kinds of beautiful flowers with different colors in one place. The flowers are well captured with different types of backgrounds.
I love the different colors of oleander - here in Calif. they grow them a lot along the road - so colorful!
Hi Diane! Your mosaic is bursting with wonderful colors. Very creative! You even had the chance to name each one -real good! Lovely!
Hi Diane. Some of those flowers are familiar to me but I am impressed that you can name all the flowers.
Beautiful mosaic! So kind of you to even add the names!
I llove how your mosaic has all these different colors. It is very pretty.
Beautiful mosaic, Diane! Even if you don't have colors of autumn, this bursting flowers are a joy to see for me..
those collection of flower photos are a treasure! and putting them together in a mosaic is a great idea! i must find time to do this when the school holiday begins.
Ooo, how pretty! Thanks so much for sharing your lovely images at Mosaic Monday. :)
Colorful Mosaic and I love the fact that you identified them for me. We still have flowers here in Atlanta from the summer but they are quickly fading. Mother Nature is changing into Autumn here slowly but surely. Thanks for sharing.

I found the colors of flowers so vibrant when I was in Tucson. Yours are spectacular. Thanks for sharing. Sharon
It is a great task for me to identify their names, you certainly have vast knowledge on this.
They are beautiful. That's why "as beautiful as flower" is always said by us.
What gorgeous flowers! Your mosaic is lovely. I have many family members that live in AZ ...I love to visit your state!
Very pretty!
