Description
đź’•Thank you to the BUYER from Tucson, Arizona for the SALE of a face mask. I hope it is a help during these disconcerting times.
Purple is my passion color, so it brings me much elation! This Texas Mountain Laurel, in my Arizona Sonoran Desert garden paradise, has luscious purple flowers that bloom every springtime. There’s no doubt that the Texas Mountain Laurel tree is an ornamental beauty, that's evergreen, keeping its leaves all year long. Even though a favorite in Arizona, they are not native to Arizona, but rather native to Texas, New Mexico, and Northern Mexico.
It's a favorite flowering tree throughout the Southwest, sure to turn heads. Especially when the fragrant, early spring bloom of violet-blue flowers make their appearance. Mine attracts butterflies, big bumble bees, and desert bees. Making my desert yard most attractive with these "Purplelicious Laurel" clusters! These big black carpenter bees chased away the butterflies and desert bees, but not me.

Dear Janet, thanks to the exquisite beauty of your lovely capture of this glorious floral/laurel......I CAN smell its scent ! Yes, I can ! I imagine it, and am reeling........thank you for always bringing beauty to my life...and all my senses.....fv...VIVA
Janet Marie replied:
Viva!! What a wonderful and special surprise to have you visit my gallery and share your lovely thoughts as always. I have been traveling in Europe and my Wi-Fi capabilities have been limited. This is my first opportunity to both see your comment and reply to it. You always share such delightful words about my artwork, and how wonderful it makes you feel. These only bloom once a year for about two weeks time. Not only are they glorious in color, but they give off such a marvelous fragrance. Purple is my passion color, so I really get to experience such elation with these beautiful blossoms. I am ecstatic that I can bring such beauty to your life and fill up your senses with deLIGHT! I am especially appreciative of you choosing this as one of your favorites. đź’•Janet đź’•

Johanna! Somehow I missed your comment left about my artwork. I apologize for that. I am delighted that you like it and feel it’s stunning beauty.

Jerry Bokowski
They do smell delicious, like a blue berry popsickle, Janet. They are one of the first to bloom and announce spring in our desert. I wish they would last longer than a week or so but we know spring is here when we see and smell them! Lovely Capture here!.....Fav / Like
Janet Marie replied:
Thank you dear Jerry for your always lovely, inspiring, and encouraging comments in regards to my photography. One thing that helps to make their visit a little more long-lasting is that the flowers do not bloom all at once. They certainly do exude a wonderful fragrance, natural aromatherapy. Giving the mind and heart such serenity and peace. The color purple being the icing on the cake, since purple is my passion color. I am delighted that you like it and feel it is a lovely capture. I also appreciate you choosing this is one of your favorites. đź’•đź’•đź’•đź’•
