Agave Family Kyle, TX March 28, 2009 Actually, some of the plants could kill you too! These yuccas have wickedly sharp points on the ends of the stiff leaves. They probably could have been used as daggers! Yuccas are pollinated by just one insect, the yucca moth.
Rosanky, TX March 26, 2009 This was the last wildflower I expected to see blooming in Texas because it doesn't bloom until after a substantial rainfall and the area we were visiting had been suffering through a 2-year drought. However, the week before we arrived, the area received 4" of rain. These flowers were the most common wildflower I saw in some areas, growing thick along the roadsides and in yards! What a nice surprise that was.
Morning Glory Family San Antonio, TX March 25, 2009 I found this little star-shaped bindweed in an empty lot. It didn't seem to be as invasive as other bindweeds can be.
