Arid environments are not lifeless

One thing that struck me when I was in Australia (back in the dark ages), was that the desert areas were far more vibrant than expected. The Outback isn't a desolate wasteland that one might expect. One of the plants that stood out was Kangaroo Paw, something I have tried to grow here with no success. Alas, my gardening skills are minimal at best, so no surprise there. Fortunately, others have had far better luck, or skill, as the case may be. This combination of reds is so striking and beautiful. While I don't know what the bushy red plant is called, it doesn't matter since it is just a joy to walk by every day and take in the vibrant beauty.
