Scattered along the roadways of Arizona from one end to another you will find these bright a cheerful traffic barricades. We refer to the twinkling lights on top as the unofficial "Arizona State Flower." We know, the real state flower is the Saguaro blossom, but they only appear in June and part of July and are limited to the lower desert hills. This species of flower appears throughout the year and can appear at any season, winter, spring, summer or fall. The picture above is a semi-permanent family group of the flowers with the long stem variety. This version is especially showy with it bright orange flags and nice detailed stripes. Notice the sandbags on the roots so that the plants cannot easily relocate in a windstorm.
