Note:   I live on a canyon rim near Amarillo, Texas.  One story as to now Amarillo acquired its name is from the fact that in the both the spring and fall, the countryside is carpeted with yellow flowers.

Flowers–Texas Panhandle Tough


In spite of only one inch of rain since last autumn, many flowers persist:  sundrops, black foot daisies, chocolate flowers, wine cups, primrose, desert (Mexican) birds of paradise, red yucca, salvia, catmint, native grasses, milkweed.  I took these photos after feeding the horses this morning.
