Wildflower wander/wonder

As many times as I've posted about wildflowers, when spring comes to the Hill Country, I can't help but post again ...

Prairie fleabane

[c Bitterweed (I think ... maybe)

 

Prairie verbena

As always, looking for bluebonnets ...

So after dinner I went back out and this is what I found ...

A tiny little succulent that looks green when viewed from overhead, its subtle coral only visible when viewed from ground level. And it was everywhere I looked, just waiting to be discovered.

Haven’t seen that succulent growing wild but it’s about $2.50 for a 1/2 pint carton at Natural Gardener, it makes a nice grown cover/ potted plant.

  1. Nancy – I do love the delicate blush of color at the ends of those tiny petals! And I’m now thinking I may finally be able to give a sense of our land through video!

The first sighting of cyclamens in the yard are a happy surprise every year. Thank you for sharing, especially loved how they quiver in the breeze.

Hi LA – a delight to go wandering with you – the short videos can make it all the more real and personal. The wild flowers are gorgeous – and seem to be growing in a pretty tough and rocky environment. I never tore of the renewal of the seasons and discovering tiny wild flowers and other bits. Enjoy. B

  1. Barry – I am always amazed at the detail of your floral iPhonography … now I’m wondering how far I can push the video idea while keeping it short and sweet.

    And yes, the flood plain is like a moonscape during the mid-winter and mid-summer dormancies, so I never cease being amazed at how much manages to grow on it between-times.

  1. Jude – thanks for the name … there is so much that we don’t notice or attend to for want of an understanding of its place in the the world. Naming is the beginning of understanding …
