I bet frostweed knows this one, maybe someone else does, too.

It's a pink flower growing out of rocks in late July outside Kerrville, TX.

after you click on link, go to 3rd post by by Linda Richenbach and click on mountain pinks.

It has the same number of petals, etc. Maybe I nailed it????

Great website for your area, btw..

Ahh, very good! That link was close but I'm pretty sure that it is a Centaurium calycosum. Thanks Vic!

Looking at those photos, C texense does look like a better match. I'll update my DB entry - thanks!

It looks like all three to me. That's my problem in making positive IDs. Trying to find the feature that separate similar species vars. and subspecies.

I'm a new member, and this is an old thread, but I wanted to chime in. I'm almost certain this is a centaurium beyrichii.

The petals of Centaurium beyrichii seem to be much more elongated than the one I have pictured.

Welcome! treepruner

Centaurium beyrichii:

flowers numerous, densely-packed in the much-branched inflorescence


http://www.bio.utexas.edu/cour...

The flowers are not densely packed in Dave's plant.

Centaurium texense:

flowers, developing fruits, and sepals--notice the long corolla tubes, the elongate fruit, and the linear sepals


http://www.bio.utexas.edu/cour...

Centaurium texense looks correct.
