April at last

I worked at my habitat here in town, watering, pruning, weeding, enlarging cages, etc. Last summer my husband mowed out my red mallows but I found a few today so I plan to get seeds from them and plant some at the oasis. That's my plan anyway.



The first photo is the only one I consider red. The other I think of as a deep pink.

Very nice, so unique a color. Time to look up that red one...only see orange and some pink ones over here.

A-ha -
Narrowleaf Globemallow (the red form)
Sphaeralcea angustifolia var. custpidata
(found it only in "Wildflowers of the Davis Mountains and Marathon Basin" - Barton Warnock)

Thanks, David. I have that book. I'll definitely look it up.
