  1. I have found a beautiful Orange petal flower out in the Arizona desert I can not identify. It’s center has purple hairs and it’s base has black spots. There’s only 3 petals. It stood only 6 inches from the ground.

  2. This article is very informative and inspiring. I love the variety of orange flowers you have featured here. I have a question about the orange begonias. How do you care for them in the winter? Do you have to bring them indoors or cover them with mulch? I would appreciate any tips you can share. Thank you! 😊
