There are many at this canyon, more than 20 clusters, each cluster is growing far away from each other.
After I took some pictures of first cluster, Sunny found a much bigger cluster by the canyon wall. (see last picture) :-(
Before we left, I saw another population in the park, they are located next to the road. It's easier to get to but the flowers are smaller.

I spotted these plants while driving in El Paso, there are 10 plants on an empty lot, next to Auto Zone.
This empty lot is turning into a shopping center soon.
