The flowers on this Desert Wishbone Bush (Mirabilis bigelovii) a few steps from my back door are only 1/2 inch across. I thought it only bloomed in Spring so I was surprised to see it blooming for the past couple of days. The flowers wilt after the sun comes up so this was shot in the shade (with my Canon S5).

Desert Wishbone Bush
The Desert Wishbone Bush (Mirabilis laevis) was named for the appearance of wishbones where the stems branch. The size of this plant and the wide distribution is an indication of what a special spring we’re having!
