Inktober Cont. Day Forty Three: Baileya| Desert Marigolds

The forty third day of Inktober 2019. The flower for today is baileya, an annual plant that blooms in the spring but may bloom again after summer thunderstorms. They have adapted to have “wooly” or “hairy” leaves to increase light reflection in order to lower leaf temperatures and block ultraviolet light
