Positive melody On Jan 31, 2005, melody from Benton, KY (Zone 7a) wrote:

A dwarf, grayish, tufted plant with short spikes of rose pink flowers.

It is found from Southern New Mexico and West Texas into Northern Mexico. It is found along open, limestone flats and rocky or clay banks. The pretty rose-pink flowers stand out against the silvery/gray foliage and the limestone rock.

It is one of the first wildflowers to bloom in the usually dry spring of western TX.
