Okay...the prize is taken for first native wildflower to bloom here after the deep freeze this year! Voila, the prize goes to the Two-Flower Anemone, Anemone edwardsiana! I saw it blooming late in the afternoon. The out-of-focus pic doesn't really do it justice...maybe I can get a better one tomorrow. This wildflower is different from A. heterophylla (Wind Flower) in that a plant can have multiple flowers blooming at one time, with 2 to 3 coming off the same stem side-by-side. All I've seen are white, but the book says it can have the same colors as the other one. They bloom from February to April. I rescued a few from a Leon Springs plant rescue site a few years back. Wish I'd gotten them all. I always feel guilty later on...something like a no-plant-left-behind kind of guilt complex. And the Agaritas are going to be blooming soon. I can see the little reddish buds. From the looks of it, there's going to be quite a large amount of blooms! Yea!
