GLASSHOUSE - FUSCIA MEDALLIONS, 2026 by @graphic_rewilding
The beautiful tiny Ocotillo flowers in the Sonoran and Chihuahuan Deserts are often missed as they sit atop clusters of long, whip-like, spiny stems reaching 3-6 metres tall.
Although it’s often mistaken for a cactus, it isn’t one.
For most of the year the stems look bare and dead, but within days of a good rain they sprout small green leaves, then in spring the tip of each stem bears a spear of brilliant red-orange, tubular flowers that attract hummingbirds and native bees.
On this desert project across the whole of @dbgphx , our focus has been on the flowers that are often missed because they perhaps bloom only at night, or even only once in a lifetime, or they are too small to notice. By creating these hummingbird’s eye view artworks we are drawing attention to these unsung heroes of the desert.

Wouldn't this cause a fire from the sun's refraction, like a magnifying glass?
