Stunningly beautiful blossom… may the bees feast and spread the love throughout the desert so that it will continue blooming, year after year.

Nectar entices both birds and bees. Great photograph awesome blossom.

You photo captures the stark beauty of the desert. I’ve always loved exploring the rocks and plants there when I get a chance.
How enticing indeed. I love your photo of the bright yellow flowers against the backdrop of sculptural plants and land forms.
What an image to allow one to just melt into that splendour…awesome haiku.
Very enticing indeed! Great take on the haiku … bravo!
