A single delicate pink flower near the former general store at Big Bend Hot Springs - a former resort community on the banks of the Rio Grande near Boquillas Canyon, where a geothermal spring burbles directly into the river. The Paleface Hibiscus is a common variety found throughout the Sonoran and Chihuahuan Deserts.
