Ocotillo Plants in Saguaro National Park





The Ocotillo plants are just beginning to bloom in Saguaro National Park located in southern Arizona.  
(Tip:  For those of you not familiar with this plant and the cactus this Park is famous for, the common pronunciation of Ocotillo is 'Okoteeo' and Saguaro is 'Sawaro'.  Might save you a bit of embarrassment if you ever get to visit this beautiful part of the Amercan south west.)
