Iliamna rivularis (Mountain hollyhock)

A lovely backdrop in a moister spot

This is a perennial that grows in moister areas in the foothills of the Blue Mountains.  In the mallow family, it has tall spikes of light to dark pink blossoms and maple-shaped leaves that turn yellow in fall.  Clip the seed heads after blooming to keep it from reseeding.  It can be clipped back to the ground after a hard freeze and will regrow the next year.  Given enough moisture it can be quite robust.  Photo by Ben Legler
