Season of the Sand Blossoms
Review by Jaimie Hall Bruzenak
Season of the Sand Blossoms: A Desert Wildflower Journey - a DVD. With another great wildflower season upon us, this DVD will inspire you to get off the beaten path to search out fields of beauty. This 42-minute DVD has three parts.
A few years back there was a 100-year bloom. Random Walk Productions shows desert flowers in all their stunning glory from that bloom. In the first selection, Season of the Sand Blossoms is set to music, showing scenes of this fantastic bloom from all over the Southwest.
Desert Gold, the second selection, is a documentary about wildflowers, why some years are bloom, others years bust and how wildflowers are critical to the ecosystem. Several scientist and Native American tradition-keepers tell the life story of desert wildflowers.
The third section on the DVD is and identification guide to the plants and animals shown on the other selections. This is another excellent wildflower year. Season of the Sand Blossoms will put you in the mood to go see wildflowers for youself. The identification guide will help you identify what you are seeing. And, if you had to leave the SW before the bloom started (or didn't get here) get this DVD and see what you missed. It's a stunning display. 42 minutes. $15.00
