Yellow is probably the most common wildflower color here in southeastern Arizona, especially in desertscrub areas in the Sonoran Desert where yellow-flowered trees, shrubs, subshrubs, herbs, and cacti are all easy to find.

Many yellow flowers are pollinated by insects, and even flowers of other colors will often have a yellow spot or yellow central disk for attracting insects. However, insects see color very differently from humans, and what may appear to us to be a plain, solid yellow flower may instead appear to have a bold bullseye or target pattern in the ultraviolet visual range of some pollinating insects.
