Today's flower is the "Flameflower" Ipomopsis rubra, also known as "Texas Plume" or "Standing Cypress". This beautiful flower is found mostly in North-Central Texas, but it is also in Central and East Texas. It loves sandy soil with a little bit of rock.

Hi PJ, these wildflowers are majestic, but not as majestic as that glorious bird, caught in flight. How magnificent.

Beautiful - both flower and bird. :)
So if you're patient you'll get hummingbirds as well as flowers in your shot.
I love flowers, and hummingbirds!
Flowers are amazing, beautiful!
Thank you for the beautiful Pictures.

Beautiful flower. It looks a lot like something that grows here in the Cape, but I don't think it's the same thing. :-)
Beautiful! Our family is heading down to Texas for a visit the end of May...I hear Spring is your loveliest season. Enjoy the challenge!
