Cortez Amarillo Flowers

Cortez Amarillo Flowers
These unique, showy trees are in full bloom in our area now. What makes it unique is that it blooms in the dry season after a sudden drop in temperature or after a long dry spell is broken with a substantial rain.

There was no measurable rain for 46 days until February 9th when it rained almost one inch. About four days later the Cortez Amarillo trees blooms. This is a sight I look forward to every year.
