This summer, the Big Horn Fire caused so much damage to the National Forest
in the Santa Catalina Mountains remains closed to the public. Therefore,
hiking and photographing wildflowers in the Catalinas will not be in 2020,
which provides a good excuse to revisit some wildflower photos over the past ten summers.

This beautiful open cup-shaped purplish-red flower is common in the summer on Mount Lemmon.
As I will often do when posting photos of flowers, I Google the name to confirm what I think it is. The fourth listing was a posting I did July 10, 2012.Â
