Hi all you plant experts. Any idea what this plant / flower / weed is? I stumbled across it driving my ATV collecting firewood. It's located on my property in the mountains of central New Mexico about 7000' elevation. Never seen anything like it around here or anywhere else for that matter.
It really stands out and seems to be a one of a kind for this neck of the woods. It's in an area of very old growth forest with mostly Pinion, Juniper some scrub Oak, Yucca plants and the occasional Barrel Cactus. Dry as bone around here so it was surprising to me to see something like this.
My guess is someone out there has these by the millions and knows exactly what it is. The clusters of flowers? are very round and are about the size of a large orange.
Check out the last pick on the right, notice anything unusual? My wife picked it out right away. Can it be transplanted? It would be nice to have these growing around the house to enjoy. Please excuse my ignorance as to what this is but I've never seen anything like it and are curious.
