Amoreuxia palmatifida is always a delightful botanical find. Look for it on rocky slopes between 3,500′ and 5,000′ in southeastern Arizona. The bloom period coincides with summer monsoon and the orange flowers are best seen in the morning unless it is a cloudy day when flowers stay open a little longer. The seed capsules are beautiful.
