These were spotted yesterday near a parking lot in San Antonio. It was raining, but I hope the pics are good enough to get some info about these tough plants.

Small white daisy flower

Small yellow flower, mint like leaves

The last one just looks like sunflower (Helianthus anuus).

Check out Rapistrum rugosum for the second one.

The first one could be Symphyotrichum pilosum (Frost Aster). A few of those are still blooming in south-central Arkansas.

Just lovely! And good camera work. Thanks for sharing. Our wildflower season still hasn't really kicked in to high gear up here. I'm hoping it will be a good one with all the moisture we had last winter. (Surely there will be that silver lining to all that snow and ice!)

It is either Silver-leaf Nightshade (Solanum elaeagnifolium) or Western Horsenettle (Solanum dimidiatum) Both are Texas natives!

Great pics! Makes me envious our wildflower season hasn't really got going up here yet. Though, I doubt we'll have that kind of stuff. Thanks for sharing some real beauties.
