Flowers of the Alice Springs Desert Park


Amazing to see that flowers can actually survive this cruel enviroment.
The desert park did have several underground watering systems, however I believe that the water did come from artesian bores.
We were told Alice Springs relys on artesian bores. The water is soft, lovely to drink and shower with.



This red flower with black eyes is the Sturt's Desert Pea,( Floral Emblem of South Australia) first time I have seen it growing.
I bought my mother a tea towel with this flower on in. Posted by Picasa
