Right side of the driveway in June 2004. The white flowers are Campanula punctata 'wedding bells'.  The large cacti are Echinocactus texensis and Denmoza rhodacantha. The small cacti with light spines are Echinocereus caespitosus and E. baileyi. The purply-pink flower is desert 4 o'clock, Mirabilis multiflora. The big Agave is parryi. The ocotillo died the previous winter but at the time the photo was taken I wasn't sure.
