This little guy is my favorite. 7 years ago I accidentaly uprooted him while camping outside of GN and brought him home...he looked dead for months, then sprang to life the next summer. Last year was his personal best with 13 blooms...here five at a time. He's about 2" across.

This thread is so sweet I can taste it. Of course Bob H's Yellow Rose is my favorite, although Ospry's Sun Rose is running a close second. I can't see a yellow rose without thinking of Don Jimmy and his pension for them, he would have loved this thread as he sure loved his flowers.

To the BCS gardeners: is there a vivero in the La Paz area that stocks native plants? I haven't had too much time yet to explore, but I'd like to find plants that are summer-hardy. I have the Roberts field guide and I'd love to try some of the low growing flowering desert shrubs, but I don't know where to find them.

Sally, I was wondering if anyone would ever even mention that flower.
It is from a Lomboy. They are the most delicate little flowers and only last one or two days.
