I think this plant is Pink fuzzybean (Strophostyles umbellata).

| Definitely Strophostyles. S. umbellata and S. helvola look identical except for a bract subtending the calyx at the base of the flower. If you scroll down on this page you can see a picture of it. http://www.missouriplants.com/... S. umbellata is a perennial an S. helvola is an annual. wildflowersoftexas.com texasnatureonline.com |

| Thanks. I could only find a few flowers in my garden and the photos are too blurry to see the necessary detail. I'll take a walk around the neighborhood to see if I can get better shots of flowers; if not, I'll just have to add the photos to a generic Strophostyles in our database. plantladylin and Horntoad!Sunset Zone 28, AHS Heat Zone 9, USDA zone 8b~~"Leaf of Faith" |
