Any idea what flower/plant this is?

I'm guessing it's a Texas native because it was in a state park in North Texas, but I really don't know. Pretty little thing though. (The flower is blue).

I thought someone had answered this. Was I dreaming? Anyway I looked through "Wild Flowers of Texas" book and didn't see anything that looked like it. Anybody know what it is?

It's a Hoya, perhaps Hoya bella. Here is a link that might be useful: Hoya bella

I'd say buttercup on the right, too, or possibly Anemone coronaria. Same family. What is the scale? Buttercups would be smaller.

or its a horrrily reseeding weed.. that start seeding at birth.. and continues until it dies in fall .. get it out of there ... your moss rose has a chance at reseeding for next year ... but if this weed dumps a bazillion seed ... well.. you can figure the rest ken

I can't find anything quite like it online. I really like the way the flower spikes curve down. Rough leaves, right?

Pam, when you mentioned flower spikes curling down it made me think of Blue curls but the leaves aren't right, nor can I make out any stamens. The flowers remind me of Baby blue eyes , but again the leaves don't match.

It was me! I am the guilty party. <hangs head in shame>

I thought I had it (the species had "corn" in the name -- I can't remember what the full name was), but posted too soon. Upon further research, my answer was wrong, wrong, wrong. I deleted to try to hide my hasty and erred posting, but got caught.

Someone PLEASE find the answer, it's driving me insane. I had these disturbing dreams last night, "Blue wildflowers in Texas, help me internet" .... and Google tortuously kept showing me nothing but Bluebonnets.

WHAT ARE THEY. I need to know before I go to sleep tonight!

Laughing .... ! Thank you MizGG for trying. But glad to know I'm not getting dreams and reality mixed up.

Yes, somebody please ID it for us. Maybe try putting the pictures on the Name That Plant Forum.

It may have had rough leaves, but I didn't touch it since I didn't know what it was. I'll post it on the name that plant forum. I really thought someone here would know.
