I just got back from a flying trip to College Station and back. Didn't have time to make my customary number of stops for interesting pics along the way. But, stopped and got 2 near Abilene Wednesday afternoon.

Thanks Mel, glad you liked them. There were quite of few nice shots along the way, including a blood red sunset about Hoerne, but, we had places to be.

Thank you Carol. I think that's the violet and the first is definitely a Medeola virginiana. It does have a little tuber. I wonder if it gets bigger as the plant ages because you'd need a whole bunch of those rhizomes to even get a mouthful. lol

Shasta, the area that I am in is considered a high desert, with summertime highs ranging from the upper 80's to over 100. But even though it is pretty hot, and the sun is very intense here, the humidity is very low, and the nighttime temperatures are usually in the 50's in the summer. I grew up in the hot, humid south, and I love it here! Some people around here actually put humidifiers in their homes to put moisture back into the air, but if I wanted to live in a sauna, I'd move back to the south, LOL! Bonnie

That certainly DOES look like it! Thank you! I'll have to check next year to see if the underside of the petals are green. The foliage is rather grass-like. They are very pretty but yes, not native, so odd. Don't know where they came from. :) The Internet says they are a bulb, too, so another oddity.

It seems the yellows and reds have really been to the forefront this year. Your photos of them are stunningly beautiful.

RC, those are very pretty. We had to make an unexpected trip to Midland and the flowers were gorgeous all they way
When we left here, the indian blankets were the dominating flower, today it is the blackeyed susan
