Wilflowers and Swallowtail Butterfly


Spring flowers more beautiful than any words I could share. Texas has so very many varieties. The beautiful Bluebonnets, Coreopsis,Indian Blanket,Mexican Hat,Black-eyed Susan,TexasGroundsel(Ragwort), which I had photos of in the last post. It would be difficult to say which is more beautiful. I love the field with the many mixtures of color. The beautiful white Cherokee Rose has five white petals forming a blossom that opens nearly flat. It shows beautifully with any of the colors. The female Tiger Swallowtail was slow moving and allowed me to photograph her. The females can be yellow or black in color. The males are always yellow. We have enjoyed wonderful spring rains and our wildflowers are gorgeous. I hope you get an opportunity to enjoy their beauty!
