Simply Red Squares – Hummingbird & Flowers

For Becky’s challenge:

It’s time for the Square challenge again! This time the prompt is anything Red, and the only rule is the photo you use Must be Square! It’s a lot of fun to see what everyone comes up with. 🙂

LookOut; we’re running out of Square days!

We don’t really see hummingbirds here, but I did see some down in south TX one time. This one was flying around a bush of red flowers that was at the Indian Lodge hotel we stayed at in Ft. Davis Texas 🙂

***

Sorry the photo is not very clear. I had to be quick to get a shot of the  bird as it fluttered all around the flowers.  The second photo is of a magnet showing a Broad-tailed Hummingbird – Fort Davis, Texas – I got it there as a souvenir. It is flying around red flowers, too.

Flower of the Day – Colors of the Season

I saw these red puff ball flowers and berries on the large Christmas tree at the store. I think they are probably artificial, but still pretty for the holidays.

Flower of the Day – Potted

These are outside, at a corner of a brick house, in a large clay pot The flowers are several red ones on spindly green stalks with green leaves. I don’t know what kind of flowers they are, though … maybe petunias. 🙂

Flower of the Day – Ocotillo

***

Red flowers on long spikey stems.

These are called Ocotillo, and are interesting looking.

They look like just some spiny, dead branches, until it gets rain. Then the branches turn green, and bright crimson flowers appear. The flowers are sometimes used in salads. The branches are sometimes used for fencing material, and also for walking canes. This is what I read about them on Wikipedia. We have them all over the place, here in town. I suppose they grow so well here because we are considered semi-desert in this area.
