Sacred datura.
Datura wrightii after rain, at the Hassayampa River Preserve, near Wickenburg, Arizona.
In this very dry season, the rain drops are a clue that these photos are from my archives.

Wishing today for a little Chambacú cool. High temps in metro Phoenix today and tomorrow will be around 115°F/46°C. Cumbia helps.
Stonescapes.
Lichens, mosses, and ferns, plump and lush after a heavy rain. On the Geronimo Trail, South Mountain Park and Preserve, Phoenix, Arizona. These photos are from my archives, from an outing in May 2015. Our monsoon rains have been very scant this season, and I imagine all of these plants are waiting, dry and dormant right now.
