I saw it today on one of the blackland prairies.

I love wildflowers and this one is super fine.

Good going, TR.

There are lots of wildflowers in Texas in places that you cannot log, or even drive through :-\.

Enjoy while you can, when it gets dry and hot, they will be a thing of the past, this is one of the best years in a long time for the flowers.

About 40 percent, heat is killing me, or at least the desire to work.

That flower looks brilliant.

I was checking on my transplanted lady slippers today and they have already flowered and seeded. There is a bit of a story behind them. In 1992, after hearing about my father's plans to do some land clearing and hiring a stumpage contractor to cut our woods I decided I needed to move these to a save location for a time from their location in the woods. I planted them home in the flower bed for about 14 years until there was a good established hardwood stand after the harvest. Last year I set them back in their rightful place in under the maple canopy on a moist site. They flowered this spring and I also discovered a clump of Dutchman's breeches transplanted in with them. Those came from another woodlot we owned. The 'renewed' woodlot is looking nicer every year as the canopy of a new forest is closing in.  :)

Nothing like looking ahead and having a plan, SD.  Good to hear that it came to fruition :).
