This image is inspired by a photo Norm K posted a few days ago. If not for that, I wouldn't even know that Joshua trees flowered.
I took the scenic route from Jieun's to my place and stopped by the Red Rock overlook. There was a Joshua tree with varying degrees of bloom. I found this early stage to be the most visually interesting up close.
