Rafinesquia neomexicana: commonly known as desert chicory…

Also known as plumeseed, or New Mexico plumeseed, considered in the sunflower or daisy family.

I have no fun facts on this flower. However, I think it’s beauty makes a grand statement!

“To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter… to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird’s nest or a wildflower in spring – these are some of the rewards of the simple life.” ~ John Burroughs
