I am going to try and get a picture of a fabulous field of Indian paintbrush on my way to work- makes me smile everytime I drive by.
Yet another "let's introduce a plant to our area" idea gone bad!
They usually flower really well for about a month then start fading out. Funny thing is, we found a few little stragglers still blooming around Christmas time.

Poodleone - love your backyard bluebonnets. Did you seed them and then they just reproduce for you or do you seed some every year?
We have lived here for two years and have thrown out seed both years. Although the wildflowers are perennials, we kind of help them along, especially the bluebonnets- we would really like the whole slope to be covered eventually. Bluebonnet plants make a good cover in poor soil.

I noticed today that the Bastard Cabbage is fast overtaking the bluebonnets. It's everywhere!!

This is absolutely beautiful. How long will they flower Poodleone? So glad to see something that is awe inspiring!!!
