Dragonflies and more

Still lots of dragonflies. Here are a couple of Common Green Darners.


And here's a beautiful flower I found blooming in the oasis. Had to send a photo to an expert for ID. Will update this post when I hear back.


UPDATE:  Expert, Bill Lindemann, said it's an Orange Flameflower (Talinum aurantiacum), or possibly Yellow Flameflower (T. angustissimum). Cool. That's a new flower for me. I would never have ID'd it without help. The two books I have that show it have bad photos/illustrations.
