The Desert Botanical Garden is in the middle of Phoenix, Arizona. As you travel around Phoenix you notice how well the housing  developments blend into the landscape. On many roads you cannot tell whether there are houses around you. In this case the Desert Botanical Garden is in the middle of Papago Park next to red rocked buttes.

This is one of my favorite stops. I've been here in the winter, spring, and late summer. Each time you'll find a different flower in bloom from the plums to the cherry blossoms and more.
