Flowers in the rain 03-02-19

I spent some time looking online for the yellow flowering desert bush, but no luck.  So, this morning when KoKo and I took our morning walk in the rain I stopped to photograph just the flowers.  

The leaves show well in the top of this image. 

 There are two downward curling anthers and five petals on the flower.. 

Here in SCalifornia people often plant their potted poinsettias in their yards.  Some of the plants in the older sections are literally poinsettia trees.

In the rain it looks like the flowers are sprinkled with diamonds or, at least, crystals.  

I have no roses blooming at the moment, they do look especially lovely in the rain.
