I did 8.1 miles on this loop hike in the Mazatzals.
This is Brunson Tank. Not much water, but more than there was when I did the same hike in March.
This is a flower on the side of an agave stalk. (It may even be a Century Plant.) The leaves at the bottom of the plant were dead. I would guess that the main blooms were at the top of the stock a season ago.
Almost done with the hike – I liked the shape of this cone shaped hill.

Looks like a nice hike and how nice to see all the blossoms………I am pretty sure the white one is Datura, the purple, Silverleaf nightshade and the yellow, Trixis. Interesting the orange one being maybe Century plant…….really had most of the rainbow out there!

Kevin, thanks so much for sharing your hike. I agree the cone shape hill is unique.. I know not what the yellow flower mass is,, but I think we all would like to know its identity.

As Linda says, I think it’s a century plant blossom. The weird thing is that it’s growing off the side of the stalk on what I would have thought to be a dead plant.

Thanks. I think I was up there with a friend, but we staggered out in cloudy weather.
