Burridge's Greenthread is an annual Texas wildflower naturally occurring only in about 7 counties in Texas. Botanical name is Thelesperma burridgeanum. Also available as Cosmidium burridgeanum, the cultivated plant usually grown from seeds. Popular in Britain, but less available here. I suspect it could eventually become endangered in the wild because of limited distribution and increased development. It is 12 to 28 inches tall and has threadlike leaves. It prefers sandy soil and warm temperatures and blooms about April to June.
