Ruby Tuesday



I'm pretty sure this is desert fuchsia. I spotted it growing by the side of the road, when we were returning from Borrego Springs, last week.
Check out all the other Ruby hunters, here.

Walker commented, and let me know the "real" name of these lovely flowers:
They are called Skyrocket, also called scarlet gilia. Had to look them up after doing exactly what you did, photographed while driving to Borrego Springs on Sunday, March 29th. http://sandiegousa.blogspot.com/2009/04/skyrockets-at-anza-borrego.html://

    They are pretty, and they do look like rockets.
    Happy RT Jan.

    That is a beautiful bush; it really adds a burst of color to the drier, brown landscape...
