I take note of this light-pink Mojave Desert native thistle: Cirsium neomexicanum
These flowers are most commonly white in the parts of the Mojave Desert that I visit, but I understand that the pink variety is more common in other areas. This plant is not a nuisance weed like the non-native thistles.
