The Lamps Of The Lord Being Lit By The Morning Sun

The New Mexico state flower, the yucca

According to this site, "Under the desert’s bright moonlight, visitors can see why New Mexico’s state flower is sometimes called “lamparas de dios” or “lamps of the Lord.” Their bright, upwardly reaching flowers seem to point heavenward and illuminate the nighttime desert."

The one is this picture has dried out, but is still a remarkable sight in the glow of the morning sunrise.
