The Ajo lily is blooming and it's awesome. It grows to about 24" high and sends up a stalk of several flowers. These fragrant plants are scattered over the desert, attracting bees, hummingbirds and winter visitors. They grow from a bulb, which is eaten by a tribe of Indians named Tohono O'odhams. Ajo is Spanish for garlic. The desert never fails to provide pleasant surprises.
