Latin globemallow
Latin globemallow is characterized by its sturdy, upright growth habit, reaching a height conducive to the open grassland it inhabits. Its gray-green, lobed leaves are covered in fine hairs, a common adaptation for water conservation. Vibrant orange-pink flowers bloom atop long stems, intended to attract pollinators despite the surrounding aridity. This resiliency allows latin globemallow to thrive in challenging conditions where other plants may falter.
