I am guessing they are a wild mallow native to this part of the country. I saw some growing along the roadside between here and Albuquerque last weekend.

The little white flowers
We have a lot of these flowers around our backyard. They open up in the morning, then close in the afternoon. They have been around for a week or more, so I think they bloom for quite a while in the springtime.

When tourist would ask, "What kind of flower is that?" the standard answere was "Rocky Mountain White (or whatever color it was) Flower!"
I love it, Lou! I now have a name for my flower...several names:
Sangre de Cristo White Flowers
Rocky Mountain White Flower
Santa Fe White Flower
LOL
I LOVE those flowers. Have the little orange ones popped up there yet? I had them out at the ranch and now here but have had no luck in transplanting them - but growing in the driveway just doesn't seem fitting.
They ARE beautiful. Nice shot, Sharon!
Beautiful photo! I was going to go to c-d and see if I could describe it well enough to get an answer. I haven't seen them close up but they are all along the I-25 median between Bernalillo & ABQ.
