It took me a minute because I was thinking hibiscus/malva but the 3 flowers on 1 stem was spoiling that.

What about Texas Storksbill, Erodium texanum?

If you agree, can you add it to our PlantFiles? Your photo is so gorgeous! I can add it if you rather.

Thanks so much, Kell! That's absolutely it. I was stumped by the three flowers on one stem too. I'd be happy learn how to post (I have lots more TX wildflower photos), where would I go? I don't see PlantFiles.

We would absolutely love for you to share all your photos with us on PlantFiles!!!!

Specifically to add your great photo of Erodium texanum
go to here
https://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/77415/
scroll down to close to the bottom to "Upload an image" just above to and to the right of Gardeners' Notes:

Click on "Upload an image" and go towards the bottom of page to "Send this file:" to add your photo. You can add a description or not.

Then for the rest of your photos first see if there is already an entry for your plant. If so, do above.

The easiest way I have found to locate a specific plant entry is go to Google then enter - "daves garden plant name" and if there is an entry it usually will come right up. It might be the 2nd to come up. Sometimes a cultivar of the same genus/species comes up first so check for that.

If no plant entry yet made, click on the general link
https://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/
see to the right a box that says "Contribute to Dave's Garden
Add a New Plant to the List"
Click on it and fill in the blanks.

I hope it does not sound complicated because it is really easy.

Feel free to dmail me or come back to this thread if you get stuck.

Thanks so much!
