I do not know the name of these white wildflowers that grow beside US 60 near Wickenburg and in the Arizona Outback, but they are sure pretty in spite of the unfriendly-looking thorny vegetation just beneath the flowers. These were growing near the Wickenburg Dog Park where we took the puppies today for one of the last springtime romps before the summer heat makes such visits uncomfortable for us and the dogs.

Argemone. Either munita or platyceras. The two species are almost indistinguishable. They’ve called Prickly Poppies. Very pretty, and a tough desert native.
I have a book that has all that in it. . .sometimes I get lazy. Thank you.
