Scenes From My Walk - Desert Willow (Chilopsis linearis). It is known commonly as desert willow or desert-willow because of its willow-like leaves, but it is not a true willow – being instead a member of the catalpa family. It is a shrub or tree native to the southwestern United States and Mexico. It is commonly seen in washes and along riverbanks… …Chilopsis linearis is cultivated for its large, showy flowers, and tolerance of hot, dry climates. Although the natural growth is a very irregular shape, it can be readily pruned into a conventional tree shape. A number of cultivars have been selected. Some, such as 'Rio Salado', have dark purple or magenta flowers. Chilopsis may survive temperatures as low as 10 degrees F (-12 °C). Chilopsis is closely related to the genus Catalpa and hybrids can be made between the two genera. The nothogeneric hybrid between Chilopsis linearis and Catalpa bignonioides has been named Chitalpa tashkentensis. It originated in a botanic garden at Tashkent in Uzbekistan. Parts of the plant have been used in traditional medicine. It has been used to treat fungal infections such as candidiasis and athlete's foot, as well as wounds and cough. The wood was used to make bows and baskets.” - Wikipedia #ScenesFromMyWalk #DesertWillow #DesertWillowBlossoms #DesertWillowFlowers #NativePlant #ChilopsisLinearis #PinkBlossoms #FloweringShrub #FloweringTree #Naturalist #PhotoByJeriRae (at Santa Fe, New Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cew8QkQLSYU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
