Bloom of the Week Wednesday: June 6, 2012
Found these gems in the Austin area. They seem to be very similar to the Indian Blanket wildflower but a different center. Anyone know what they are?
Something pointy in Texas that doesn't puncture your skin
At last, and especially in contrast to yesterday's picture, here's a Texas plant that looks menacing, that in fact looks like a bunch of hypodermic needles just waiting to break through your skin, and yet miraculously the would-be needles are pliable and don't hurt at all (unlike the spines of the white prickly poppy, which are real, and which I can tell you do hurt).
Is it Spring yet??? – picture(s) from yesterday
Hiding
I’m not fond of cold weather. My favorite wildflower of the spring is the Indian Blanket. (and yes, there is a technical name for it but I can’t remember it).
As I prepare to head to a colder city I remind myself of this glorious find in the Spring of 2010…. sighhhh…sun on my skin….warm soft breeze blowing….
Enjoy!
