Plant: Mesquite or prosopis........

Mesquite, a Fabaceae family members abounds in arid South West region of the USA...
Thy are one of the keystone plant of the desert landscape...the plant can be of three types..honey, screwbean, velvet....
The plants bloom in spring...bees swarm to pollinate the flowers  and gather nectar....
