Texas Wildflowers

These are some of the more interesting, unusual, and prickly, Texas wildflowers I've photographed.

Texas Prickly Poppy

(Argemone)

Very thorny, desert rose.

This tall plant is covered in spikes, even the bulbs dare you to touch them.

Blossom attracts many pollinators with its lovely yellow pollen.

Antelope Horn Milkweed 

(Asclepias asperula)

Indian Blankets at LBJ Ranch, Stonewall, Tx

Wild Onion, Allium canadense  

Cow Parsley

(Anthriscus sylvestris)

Flowering before turning to 'stickers'.

Upright Prairie Coneflower, aka, Mexican Hat
