- Painting the hills

My favorite Texas wildflower color isn't bluebonnet blue ...

Patch #69

it's Indian paintbrush orange ...

Photo taken at the Wildflower Center,
after which G reminded me not to step off the path

G got a chance to look up wildflowers at the National Wildflower Center ...


And I got to make some IDs of my own, including this bitterweed ...

plus I got another shot at capturing an Edwards Plateau thimbleweed, aka Two-flower anemone ...

with its tell-tale mid-stem ruffle ...

    Indian Paintbrush is so lovely. Reminds me of our visit to the Sedona area on AZ. So earthy and vivid. As always, your blog is a highlight of my day.

      Thank you, as always. We are planning a trip to New Mexico and Arizona in the fall ... would love to know "must see" recommendations.

      Good Morning, Liz!
      I will put my thinking cap on and ask my husband as well. Can't get enough of that red rock. Blessings, Sue
