I looked for the name of this desert plant for a long time and finally identified it at the Tohono Chul greenhouse yesterday. It's called chuparosa and is native to the Sonoran desert. Hummingbirds are attracted to the red flowers and nectar of this plant.
Putting all of the botany aside, I'm liking the graceful lines of the red flowers and shadows on the weathered gray wood in this photo.
