Bush Mallow
Malacothamnus fasciculatus
Our lanky mallows are blooming. They were suppose to be yellow, but as you can see, clearly they are not yellow.
Also, they look more like M. palmeri to me, but our source has told us they were locally collected seed in southern cal., and definitely from Malacothamnus fasciculatus, so who am I to argue? All the native mallows here are so pretty anyway.
