A late summer Desert Rainstorm can produce a late bloomer as shown in the photo of the orange flowered variety that bloomed two days after a rain storm in mid August; and then continued to bloom right through the end of September.
The summer months are virtually rainless, although subtropical moisture from the North American Monsoon usually results in increased humidity and thunderstorms for at least a few days each summer.
