Photographed in the Hedgepeth Hills, Glendale, Arizona, March 2003. |
FLOWERS: Spires of abundant, large, peach-colored flowers make this an
attractive spring wildflower especially along roadways where runoff affords a
bit more moisture. Flower color can vary to shades of red and grenadine or even
white. The numerous
stamens are fused by their filaments into a column surrounding the
style. Malvaceae -- Mallow FamilySponsored Links:More Information: |
