Here is a photo of an endangered plant called Arizona cliffrose, or purshia subintegra. There are other types such as Kearney cliffrose and Burro Creek cliffrose.I like the very tiny fuzzy hairs. I used a high powered macro to capture this close up.
The details were so tiny I never would have seen the fuzzy hairs.
I found this plant on my way walking to the sand dunes on Navajo lands while on my photo tour near Page, Arizona.

Stunning image, Julie! I SOOOO love it.
Just one more reason I have to schedule a trip to the desert.
It looks like a spider. Fascinating.
Absolutely beautiful, I love it!
I love the Cliff Rose. In early summer when the flowers bloom the air is full of its sweet smell.
Didn't know it was endangered.
Nice macro capture.
brattcat is right. It does resemble a spider.
Photography causes you to stop and check things out that normally you would just walk right by. Beautiful shot Julie.
Beautiful shot. It's funny how the macro lets you see things you wouldn't see just walking by.
Great macro shot!
strange plant, it makes me a little thought has a spider ;O)
Very cool plant. Is there any work being done to protect it
It's so lovely and unusual!
How fragile nature can be. Yet strong enough to grow upon a cliff.
Maybe another picture of you, worth to be written a book about.
A wonderful weekend for you.
It's amazing! I think it should be preserved and planted more! Looks really nice!

Very delicate. Like wind mill wings.
It's amazing what one can find in the desert, which so often we think of as nothing by hot sand!
Wonderful photo, Julie!
Beautiful and great shot too!
So beautiful, so delicate and so sad to think it's endangered. Gorgeous shot.
