Here are sme of the flowers we saw at Tonto NationalMonument:
Flowering banana yucca
Indian paintbrush (Castileja exserta)
Desert penstomen (pink) and firecracker penstomen
Mariposa lily
Flat-top buckwheat
Hedgehog cactus
Globe mallow
Marah gilensi (wild cucumber)
Very nice! You couldn't see all those pink, red and orange flowers on the photos from the day before. By coincidence, I am just completing a report on Castilleja and other hemiparasitic plants in BC. Castilleja are called just "paintbrush", now, by the way :)
