Description
Texas Wildflowers was photographed in a field full of gorgeous, colorful, blooming flowers. Among the flowers in this field were the Texas state flower, the Bluebonnet, a vibrant orange flower called an Indian paint brush and some yellowish flowers I am not sure of, but think they may be fritillaria persica ivory bells.
Castilleja indivisa, commonly known as Texas Indian paintbrush or entireleaf Indian paintbrush, is a hemiparasitic annual wildflower native to Texas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma in the United States. The bright red leaf-like bracts that surround the white to greenish flowers make the plant look like a ragged brush that has been dipped in red paint. They sometimes produce a light yellow or pure white variation mixed in with the reds.
Each plant typically grows 30–45 cm (12–18 in) in height. The leaves are long and stalkless. Texas paintbrush typically blooms in early to mid-spring, and thrives in well-drained areas with full sun. They can be seen along highways and in fields, complementing the deep blue of the bluebonnets.
Lupinus Texensis, the Texas lupine or Texas Bluebonnet, is a species of lupine endemic to Texas. With other related species of lupines also called bluebonnets, it is the State flower of Texas. A 20-50 cm tall plume of blue flowers (with bits of white and occasionally a tinge of pinkish-red), they are hardy and can withstand drought conditions.
I don't know many people who don't love a field of wildflowers. It just brightens my day to see that on my drive.
