WILD FLOWERS ON A WEDNESDAY

The rain last night was like a tonic for my garden. Plants seem to have shot up over night and many native flowers are blooming. Here's a sample of the native plants that are flowering in my garden today.

Kris Peterson said...: I love that chocolate daisy (Berlandiera lyrata), which I should be able to grow here but never see.; May 6, 2015 at 8:48 PM
Sue said...: Lovely variety! It must be spectacular. Is that Gaura in the upper right? Very beautiful blossum!; May 7, 2015 at 2:06 AM
TexasDeb said...: Oh, gaura! I never seem to be able to keep those going here. They are especially lovely I think - just as pretty as any butterfly the way they dance in the breeze on those long stems.

That rain was delightful and I was so relieved (along with everybody no doubt) that it was only rain, not too windy, and no hail! How are your bluebonnet plants Ms. Jenny? Will you get plenty of seed after all?; May 7, 2015 at 6:29 AM
Vicki @ Playin' Outside said...: This made my day. Yours, too, I'll bet!; May 7, 2015 at 2:15 PM

Rock rose said...: hard to find even here and I have only ever had it seed on one occasion.; May 9, 2015 at 8:58 AM
Rock rose said...: Yes Sue, it's gaura.; May 9, 2015 at 8:58 AM
Rock rose said...: Isn't it strange how one gardener can grow a plant and another fails miserably. It does seem to like a lot of sun. I could not grow it in another part of the garden where there was more shade. Yes, no hail this time. Hope we are out of the woods with regard to that event. A friend from Houston has just sent me seeds. I have evening work to do!; May 9, 2015 at 9:00 AM
Rock rose said...: It is a great relief to see flowers blooming again. That rain was the perfect tonic.; May 9, 2015 at 9:01 AM
Rock rose said...: Thanks Kacky. So glad they are back.; May 9, 2015 at 9:01 AM
Rock rose said...: All was not lost after all. Such a relief.; May 9, 2015 at 9:02 AM
