This looks set to be the shortest Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day post ever. To date, I have planted five plants: two Salvia farinacea… …and four lilac-colored Catharanthus roseus, the tender vinca that is very heat-tolerant and will continue flowering even in a desert summer.
That golden flower really is gorgeous. Glad you have been able to identify it. It will be so interesting to see what other flowers grow wild around you in your new home, and how your garden develops. Is there already a garden there?
Every good garden starts small! Hopefully. cooler temperatures and some rain will arrive soon to spur yours on to the next level. I love the wildflowers - anything that can survive hot and dry conditions is a winner in my book.
Garden Bloom, September
How wonderful to be able nurture your Sonoran desert plants. I look forward to learning to put 'names to faces'
Your garden sounds like it will turn out amazing under your care. The butterfly photos of the wildflower Hymenothrix wislizeni are a joy to look at.

You may not have many blooms as some folks do, but the ones you do have are beautiful!
Love the butterflies!
Have a great day!
Beautiful post, the first shot of butterfly on the flower looks stunning. I love the beautiful shade of salvia.
