Texas Native Plant Pictures by color ( Yellow )

Fringed Puccoon Lithospermum incisum
Borage Family (Boraginaceae)

Has small, unopened, self-pollinating flowers, in addition to the showier fringed petaled flowers shown here. Small clusters of sterile frilly blooms appear within the first 2 weeks of spring. Then self-pollinating buds are formed later in spring or early summer. The leaves are slender toward the bloom, and more compact at the base sometimes withered by bloom time.
Here they are growing in rocky caliche soil between a traintrack and Highway 377 and nestled next to patches of Prairie Verbena.

Those are beautiful Deb.

I've been trying to identify some wildflowers... and this one isn't listed here so thought I would add it.

Dwarf cinquefoil, Potentilla canadensis are starting to bloom now.

I have a few other yellows that aren't on this list, will add them later.

Very pretty!!!

Thanks Deb and Allwild for the lovely photos.

Htop, I am so glad to assist! I often come to this directory when I'm trying to ID a native wildflower. And btw, your photos are always so fantastic ~ so Thank You!! ^_^

Here is Golden ragwort, Golden Groundsel, Squaw Weed, senecio aureus Hardy to zones 4-9.

Turns out senecio is a huge genus and this particular plant is one of those that took some time to ID!! I love the golden daisies blooming in spring. They are already in full bloom now. They are in mostly shade here, right under a big oak but I think they are full sun bloomers! The leaves are toothed, irregular in shape... I'll have to get some pics and add them too.

Well here's one showing the leaves from a distance, if you can see the leaves are round and toothed at the bottom and slim down to a smaller more serrated leaf as they come up closer to the flower head.

One more. I guess I took a few of this one... teehee! But that's because I remember how pretty it was last year and have been waiting for it to bloom!

My dh, the lawnmower maniac, knows not to mow this area! hahaha

Four pointed Evening primrose, Oenothera rhombipetala
