If sunny Phoenix brings anything to mind, it’s the golden gleam of the sky. Why else would it be called Phoenix, of course? To celebrate the fiery loveliness of the area—as well as its rich mythological namesake—orange flowers are particularly appropriate for the area.

Luckily there are dozens of flowers bursting with shades of orange that fit the Phoenix area perfectly. Here are just a few of them.

• California Poppy
• Rock Echeveria
• Staghorn Cholla
• Arizona Poppy—which is known by its lovely, double shades of orange
• Emory’s Globemallow
• Chuparosa
• Buckhorn Cholla
