Arre,
We have not seen O. macrorhiza in Arizona, only O. pottsii. It would be great if you found O. macrorhiza. Do you have photos?

When I grew it, it formed yellow flowers with reddish centers, unlike the red or purple that Pottsii is usually supposed to get. The plants were not infrequent (every 100 feet or so), and were rarely more than 3 pads high.
