| I does look like Houstonia "Bluets" Bonap shows Houstonia rosea and Houstonia micrantha growing in your area. http://www.bonap.org/BONAPmaps... wildflowersoftexas.com texasnatureonline.com |

| Yes, it definitely does look like a Houstonia. I've never heard of this genus before. Looking further into this, I am sure that it's the H. microntha. It matches every detail of that species. Thank you all! |
