I saw this yellow bloom peeking out between the branches of an agave plant. Usually these blooms rise on a long stem several feet above the actual plant but this one was right down at the same level as the plant. I zoomed in close in the shot above to get a good look at the flower. I see some ants were also having a closer look.
I do enjoy the vast variety of plants to be found in the desert southwest.

They are such stunning flowers. Great close-up.
I wonder if this one means the plant will die, as is true of the "century plant" agaves?
I'll check it the next time I'm there to see.
The number of different flowers that you see there is wonderful, Sharon.
Desert blooms are amazing. So much beauty with so little water.
