Seen yesterday in Fort Davis, at the Chihuahuan Desert Nature Center and Botanical Gardens and at Fort Davis National Historic Site's Hospital Canyon trail, the Trumpetflower (Techoma stans) adds a brilliant color to the landscape.  In full bloom now, even on the burn edge of the Hospital Canyon Trail, which is recovering nicely from April's wildfire!  Come see it for yourself!
