I’ve said pretty much everything there is to say about
wildflower season in previous years’ posts (2008
being the most snarky/accurate, but also from 2009,
2010,
2011).
This unmanly topic has been run into the ground here, but
this is a yearly tradition here, so I’ll just post a couple pictures[i],
and then we can all pretend this didn’t happen and get back to subduing our
intestines with steak and beer[ii]
and other manly pursuits.
From top left: Mountain
Laurel, Thistle sp. Violet Wood Sorrel, Winecup, Gallardia, Herbertia, Iris
sp., Coral Bean, Showy Evening Primrose, Vervain sp., Spider Lilies, Mexican
Hat, Indian Paintbrush, Lantana, False Dandelion, Coreopsis sp., Cone flower,
Plains Coreopsis.
[i] I
actually didn’t go out especially to photograph wildflowers this year, and
haven’t worked through a large backlog of unidentified pictures, so these are
just a few random shots from times I was out during the season and saw
wildflowers while involved in doing something more weighty….like birding. Nope
still can’t say that with a straight face.
[ii] I’ve
been posting posts of epic length as of late, so I thought a brief one would be
a welcome interlude. More to come.

You sure that's Mountain Laurel? :)
I should have been more clear...Sophora secundiflora, Texas Mountain laurel.
