Description
Despite its small size, probably insignificant wildflowers to most, these colorful blooms caught my attention. The Desert Globe Mallow (sphaeralcea ambigua), are bright orange-red or apricot, 5-petaled wildflowers, near the tips of weak, wide-ranging, sometimes sprawling stems (needing to be captured on a calm day). The most drought tolerant of its species.
They are part of my, "Calling All Wildflowers collection!" The lighting creating a moody blue behind the vibrant bloom. My "Moody Blue Desert Mallow!"

Beautiful color Janet. It's nice to see these smaller flowers appreciated and captured in the huge vastness of the desert landscape.
Janet Marie replied:
Roseanne! Thank you for visiting my gallery and sharing your wonderful thoughts about my photography. I really appreciate it!
Lisa Kaiser
Absolutely gorgeous, Janet. This delicate flower is stunning the way you captured it and gave it such beauty.
Janet Marie replied:
Lisa! You are so sweet to visit my gallery and share your lovely thoughts about my photography. What a high praise from such a talented painter of flowers. I can’t take a whole lot of credit for the flower beauty, the Creator takes credit for that. I was out, taking some images of other desert flora and came across these colorful but very small wildflowers. Probably unnoticed by most. I was quite fortunate to get this shot, as they are a tall shrub, and it was breezy. The lighting gave off a blissfully blue look, and was surprised how lovely it turned out. I don’t have any special photoshop type programs. Thank you for your continued support of my photography. I really appreciate it! Janet💕
