Wildflowers

Small wildflowers, often thought of as weeds, are sprouting and blooming in Texas lawns.  I've always been fond of them... having never particilarly cared for a lawn that looks like a golf course, I find 

these free flowers charming.

First,  blue eyed grass... a small native member of the iris family.

Sisyrinchium ensierum

Then, the windflower, Anemone heterophylla, white most common... occasionally lavender...

The wild verbenA is just starting its bloom, and givem the oporunity will continue all summer.

Verbena bipinnatifida

And this crow poison or false garlic, which looks much like miniature

tulip.
