Parry's mallow (Eremalche parryi)

Parry's mallow

Parry's mallow is a low-growing, resilient wildflower found in desert ecosystems. With its vibrant pink petals radiating from darker centers, the flowers are a striking contrast against sandy soils. This species thrives in full sun, its deep roots voraciously seeking moisture. The leaves are typically gray-green, coated in fine hairs, an adaptation for minimizing water loss in its arid home.
