Sonoran Desert Museum - Autumn Sage — Hummingbirds Love Them

---

Here is an Arizona riddle for you — when is a museum not a museum? When it is a zoo. That is the mystique of the Sonoran Desert Museum in Tucson. It is, in fact, a zoo featuring the plants and animals from the Sonoran Desert — that part of our country encompassing the Valley of the Sun (Phoenix area) and south into Mexico. These beautiful flowers are Autumn Sage — hummingbirds love them.
