Golden Thryallis and Coneflowers

It's not all work and no play here at the Grackle. Despite the drought, some of the stalwarts are blooming away, including the purple coneflower...

and the golden thryallis.

This cat's claw cactus (I think that's right) is making the most amazing looking fruit. I wonder if we call these "átun" also? Well, either way I ain't trying to eat that!
