Hovering 'round 100

The Southwest Desert temperatures will be hovering around 100 degrees (Fahrenheit) -- yes, I know, it couldn't be 100 degrees centigrade, even in the Earth deserts.  No complaining about the weather yet.
Enjoy the blooming non-indigenous plant we call the "Bishop's Cap." 
Each "Bishop's Cap" flower blooms for only one day.  Notice the closed and wilted flowers from previous days around the fresh yellow bloom.
The flower lasts one day.  If you do not check it daily, you will miss the bloom.  What life lesson is there in this? 
Getting philosophical in the desert garden,
