Calling all New Mexico botanists!

The photo above is a bit out of focus (I believe the wind was blowing as I took it). You may click on it to enlarge. I took this photo on St Cyprian's Day last year: September 13, 2006.

These flowering plants appear to grow wild and I like the pale orange blossoms but I have not seen a photo in any field guide that strikes me as this plant. Can someone tell me what it is?

Thanks in advance.

As you say, it's a bit out of focus, so it's hard to say for sure, but it looks a bit like hollyhock to me, Paul. Perhaps thats enough of a clue, to find out what it really is. Peace, to you my brother,
