Apache plume {Explored}

Apache plume is the common name for fallugia paradoxa. It is a common plant in the desert areas of New Mexico. It produces small rose-like white flowers. When the petals drop off, the long fibers appear, each one attached to a seed. It is quite a sight to see an entire shrub covered in these pink furry growths. This bush was one of many in the Santa Fe Botanical Garden.
