This picture was taken in Fredericksburg, TX. I did not take it. I got it from someone else. I thought you might like to see it.

Common name is from its affinity for the shade of "cedar" trees. It's a good shade/understory plant. Ours is growing under a dwarf peach. The following NPSOT article provides more background.

Only because I looked through a catalog recently and recognized the leaf, but the yellow is Oxalis Bermuda-Buttercup? Here is a link that might be useful: Propagating Perennials

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

Descriptions say it is xeric but it has only appeared when we have had a gentle year. I can't say it is wet since we are still 10' below normal for the 12 month period. The rains have been well placed and all gentle soaking in rains, not he 8" downpour and nothing else. I have been using my very new looking, but old, unused mushroom book. My land was also over grazed so between the drought and the cows, it might just be more recuperation of the land.

Are you getting decent rain in Texas this year? The picture would suggest "yes."

Some of us are getting rain. On April 29th I got 5 inches and 8 miles SE of here my friend got maybe an inch. I don't know the year that picture was taken. It was posted on May 1.
