You're welcome Emma. I have several photos of these flowers that I have to upload and just learned the species name last week.

Oh my goodness, that made me laugh out loud. When I visited Taos pueblo, I bought a drawing from a local artist and we were discussing Hopi words. Nopayahnah means "I see all" and it was a fitting name for one of my cats.
