Gary has an excellent wildflower ID section at his web site: http://www.texaswildflowerguide.com/home.htm Murry Flowers will brighten your day whether mild or wild, Murry!    Report

Hi, In addition to Gary's great resource, we have a photo gallery here for identifying wildflowers. http://community.wildflowerhaven.com/photos/identifying_wildflowers/default.aspx We also have a resource library with links to other websites for identifying wildflowers. http://www.wildflowerhaven.com/resources.aspx I added my answers (guesses) to your original post. Often you need to have a photo of the entire plant showing the leaves and stems along with a close up of the bloom to get a good identification of the wildflower. I can also suggest purchasing: Wildflowers of Texas by Geyata Ajilvsgi Wildflowers of the Texas Hill Country by Marshall Enquist RichO Hunting Texas Wildflowers    Report
