"Desert Rose"

In New Mexico, the color "Desert Rose" is a strong, vivid pink-orange. Many homes and businesses sport this color, and it's quite beloved, especially when paired with a bright turquoise.

The trees of NMSU have decided to get in on celebrating this hue! Here and there on campus, the ash trees have turned a neon version of Desert Rose. It's beautiful, especially to desert dwellers. Out here, we don't have much in the way of trees, except in yards, parks, and the campus. There are no "woods" such as in some regions. So, we treasure our rare trees!
