Globemallow - Species unknown (Mallow Family - Malvaceae)
We have come full circle in colors but I had to show you my yellow wildflowers, too, though 3 of these photos are not wildflowers but rather tree flowers. (Did you know that most trees have flowers?)
The little yellow-orange balls on the Huisache are so cute. The white-yellow flowers on the Blackbrush really look like the bottle brush that I use to clean the hummingbird feeder. The flowers of the live oak were food for a huge flock of Red-winged Blackbirds.
