Verbena Family San Antonio, TX March 24, 2009 This is a very common plant along the roadsides in central Texas. The flowers are interesting, they change color after they have been pollinated.
Pea Family Uvalde, TX April 1, 2009 The common name of this shrub, palo verde, means "green stick" in Spanish.
Evening Primrose Family Austin, TX (Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center) March 27, 2009 This isn't what I would consider a Cut-leaf Evening Primrose, but if the botanists at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center say that's what it is, I'll have to go with that name. :) This flower has a square opening where the petals come together.
