If you want to see resiliency, visit the Sonora desert. Even the flowers, that look so delicate and beautiful, are tough survivors.
They live through blistering heat, monsoon rains, cold temperatures and animal nibbling only to exuberantly bloom again.
Usually, no matter how pretty the flower, you must mind the thorns –
They are there, whether you see them or not!
