I've been saving these photos, taken on a recent visit to Tecolote, New Mexico (near Santa Fe) for bloom day. I need help identifying some of them, like this first one. I know that it is not flax. It looks a lot like vinca but with smaller leaves.
I now have it on very good authority, Mr. McGregor's Daughter, that this is phlox. Thanks, MMD! 
Another mystery flower.....
I believe this is called a "Texas Thistle"....
These sunflowers are everywhere, growing in patches along the roadsides....
This might be "broomweed" or desert aster....
This is purple nightshade.....
The very common Mexican Hat.....

I think the top is phlox. But I could be wrong!
I'm no help on identifying flowers from New Mexico, but it's nice to see what they have blooming, too!
The 1st photo is definitely a Phlox possibly bifida.
I'm glad I was able to help you ID the plant.
