It's a globemallow, but I couldn't tell you which particular variety of globemallow it is. I have some in my yard and they thrive with neglect and need no supplemental watering.

Re: Globemallow

Central Arizona is famous for Globemallow.

The city of Globe, located east of Apache
Junction, was named after this flower.

We also have plenty of cactus and rattlers.

Re: Globemallow

Interesting Larry. One of these days I'd like to get me a good photo of one of those rattlers too.
