UPDATE: This is a desert brittle bush (Encilia faranosa), which is a member of the sunflower family. The flowers actually do look like tiny sunflowers. The desert is covered with these colorful shrubs right now and they dot the landscape..

sorry the knee's not doing well! but that is a really pretty blooming bush!
I didn't know that was what it was called. It has taken me a while to get to know all the desert flora. Nice to see snow on mountain tops.
Lovely gold! You could reprint that amazing header shot as far as I'm concerned and I'd be happy ... and maybe your knee would hurt less. Take care of it and feel better soon..
The precipitation around the state is welcome indeed.
That's a beautiful shot. I'm not seeing much bloom yet in my area of the desert yet. Dryer year, so may not be as good as previous years, but we'll see. Hope your knee gets better.
So sorry to hear about your knee. This shot is lovely!
Well, now I'm not sure that is the name of the shrub...I'll have to investigate!
These flowers are very pretty! Hope that your knee will recover soon!!
