I decided to document the great variety of plant life that can be found around Tucson. In the middle of the desert, one would only expect a handful of different species to be able to survive. What makes the city of Tucson beautiful is the diverse range of species living together in an urban setting. This is especially true of the campus of the University of Arizona. A great deal of care and effort has been put into the placement and selection of plant species, creating a beautiful scenery for all to enjoy. Not to go unnoticed however are the wild plants that grow beyond human influence. As shown in the seventh picture, plant life is no less prevalent in the alleys or on the sides of buildings (where I found the flowers in the first picture). Both types of plants can be found all over, and they sometimes make you forget that you are living in a desert.
