Male!
Hartmut, I believe that this wasp is a male. Is that correct? Thanks

No question about it,
certainly a male. Only the male of
P. vespoides
has this kind of antennal club. Your photo also shows 7 visible tergites.
You should still be able to find females by looking for
Penstemon
in bloom, the blue and purplish ones, i.e.
P. cyananthus
.
Have taken the liberty of filling in gender.

I'm in Arizona!
Hartmut, this isn't my image and I don't want to leave any more comments here, if it's not needed. I sent you an email about some other things, BTW. Thanks
