No big deal for most of you. But, this evening was the first time it's rained in June here at my house since 1999.

The storm was very much like our late summer monsoon storms, but it's way early for that.

Remember this one?
It looks like this minus the flower most of the time.

Wow, that's really quite a stunning transformation! I see what you mean now about the red spikes.

It's something to watch it happen when it sprinkles. Almost like the rain drops painting the spines.

They sometimes call bright red ones like this fire barrels.

Wow, that's amazing! Hard to believe water can make such a change.
