Madera Canyon Picnic & Hike: Part II

Much of the year here in Arizona wildflowers, trees, cactus, agaves, alloes, or yuccas of some kind or another are blooming. Here are a couple of wildflower photos from yesterday that I particularly liked:

I thought that this would be easy to identify: pink and white "bottlebrush" flowers with fern like leaves. Finally, after looking in two wildflower books, and several internet sites, I found it online on the "Southeastern Arizona Wildflowers and Plants of the Sonoran Desert" website.
