Wildflowers near the Piedra Lisa trailhead-part two

The recent rains have eased our drought and the wild flowers love it!  A few more things are blooming on our mountainside since my last post about wildflowers near the Piedra Lisa trail head.  
Robinia neomexicana (New Mexico Locust)

.
Palmer penstemon
Daisy, Silver Kisses ?
Cirsium neomexicanum A. Gray
New Mexico thistle

Considered an invasive species and a noxious weed by some, this plant provides an important food source for monarch butterflies who are endangered.
