St. Anthony’s Greek Orthodox Monastery is located in the desert outside Florence, Arizona. The monastery’s water comes from three wells, each a quarter-mile deep, which turn the grounds into an oasis.
I’ve never seen bougainvillea this color.
Adding to the beauty of the plants are the many outdoor structures and decorative brickwork.
And the fountains.
And the statuary.
The monks also grow several kinds of citrus, and olives.

I was in Arizona few months ago. They really do have beautiful and charming spots that you can find. I didn’t have a chance to go to St. Anthony’s Monastery. It does look like a beautiful place to see.
