Anybody know the name of a Texas native ruellia (wild petunia) with white blooms that open in the late afternoon and last through early morning? One came up in my yard and I have been unable to identify it. Any assistance will be appreciated.
Late afternoon/night blooming native ruella
Does it look like this one? It doesn't spread as much as the pink and purple thin leafed ones do. I allow it to stay. I don't know it's name, but I think it may be this one. http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/38213/
Sorry ..........I missed the "NATIVE" statement. I am not sure about this one, but I doubt it is.

Thank you both for your help. I'll checkout your suggestions. It resembles Ruellia noctiflora; however, it is not a Texas native. I have never heard of a night blooming one before. I had 2 come up in my grass.
