You might be seeing two different plants.
The shrub rooted in the crack below and
a smaller one it the upper crack. At least
that's what my eyes are seeing. The one
above looks like a Verbena, foliage and all.

That would make sense because the flower does look like Verbena. Maybe the wind blew a seed there. I may have to purchase some seeds. It's beautiful! There is no other Verbena in the yard.

The leaves of the large plant are different from anything else around. I guess I'll have to watch to see if it blooms a different color.

Thanks!

I still want to know what the plant is. Anybody have an idea?

Desert Willow?

Verbena is excellent for attracting butterflies.

I hope that it is Chilopsis linearis, Desert Willow! Gorgeous flowers!

Wonder how it got into that crack, and I'm glad it did!

Thanks for the ID!
