New flowers of Chaparral Mallow (Malacothamnus fasciculatus)

11/30/09
This is a beautiful new flower of a native Chaparral Mallow (Malacothamnus fasciculatus) shrub in the Malvaceae plant family. It looks like a studio shot, but I got this photo in the woods "au naturel".

It seems unusual to be flowering now, but my flora gives their flowering time as June to November. Maybe it got a boost from our great October rain? The flowers are doing better than the insects this year. (Paradise, Santa Ynez River, 25 November 2009)

I'll try to re-open my comments. Please don't send me invitations to be your Fiend/Favorite or cute Ascii art because I'll just delete them. But real comments on my photos will be appreciated!

Lovely colors! It seems hard to believe that the flowers are doing better than the insects; I'd expect them both to do about the same, albeit with a slight time difference.

By the way, that's fantastic bokeh! I'm guessing you used the 200-500mm lens, am I correct?
