Well I purchased the Wildflowers of Texas, but found it a little limiting. Many of the photos are not very high quality (not that mine are either) but I would like to have seen some inset photos with closeups of the flowers. I have found it helpful for many identifications. Anyway, I'm posting some of mine in hopes that you kind folks will be able to assist me with identifications. So here goes (and to be continued). I suspect the cactus is an Opuntia species, but not sure which one. By the way, all of my photos are from Wise County, just northwest of Decatur, TX.
