A few roadside wildflowers I spotted yesterday. Oenothera speciosa ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Cirsium horridulum ![]() ![]() ![]() Cirsium horridulum is very popular with bees ![]() ![]() Pyrrhopappus carolinianus ![]() Prunella vulgaris ![]() wildflowersoftexas.com |
Pretty field of Oenothera speciosa; I see it growing along the roads here too and wish it would show up in my pasture... I should try collecting seeds! But then, there are so many other wildflower seeds I'd love to snatch up. ![]() May your life be like a wildflower, growing freely in the beauty and joy of each day --Native American Proverb |

O. speciosa is probably the most abundant wildflower in the area. There are lots of wildflowers but they don't have the coverage the O. speciosa has. wildflowersoftexas.com |
I love those Primroses, they are so pretty, I have a lot of them in my front yard. ![]() Wildflowers are the Smiles of Nature. Gardening with Texas Native Plants and Wildflowers. |

It is one of my favorites. When I was growing up we called them Buttercups, but I think one of the other common names Showy Evening Primrose is very appropriate. They are very showy this time of year. wildflowersoftexas.com |

Thanks, Jay, for identifying these wildflowers; I'm writing them down in my wildflower book... “For even the Son of Man/Jesus did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”” Mark 10:45 |

Betsy, you might want to check out my website for help in identifying wildflowers in Southeast Texas. I try to go out as often as possible and photograph local wildflowers. When I get a positive ID, I post them to my website. http://www.wildflowersoftexas.... wildflowersoftexas.com |

Jay, I didn't realize the site is your own; I've been to it before and have it bookmarked. “For even the Son of Man/Jesus did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”” Mark 10:45 |
