Spring wildflowers make for a beautiful garden...

Happy Wildflower Wednesday.  Spring is in full force here in Central Texas.  In fact, we've even had summer-like days already, getting up to 94 once or twice.  We love our wildflowers, especially our Texas Bluebonnets.

I wanted to bring some of my pretty flowers - wildflowers, perennials and others, into the house to enjoy today, so I made a little bouquet for my small bluebonnet creamer pitcher.


Now, they aren't all wildflowers -- can you name everything in the vase?  Give it your best shot!

Thanks to Gail, of Clay and Limestone ,who brings us our Wildflower Wednesday celebration. WW is about sharing and celebrating wildflowers from all over this great big, beautiful world. Join us on the fourth Wednesday of each month.

 Happy spring!

    You've got a whole garden in that vase! I couldn't get them all. My best guesses: Salvia leucantha, Phlomis, Verbena, a rose of some kind, lupine, and that double daffodil I think I saw on your blog earlier. The red flower has me completely stumped - it makes me think of sneezeweed Helenium.

    Hi Kris - I do have a lot in there. I'll post a little later and ID the rest of them. Hint - the red flower is really much more orange - maybe that helps you ID it!

    A beautiful arrangement and what a surprise to find the S. leucantha blooming in March.
