I decided to play the game “what’s blooming in the front yard today” and was surprised at a few. The Vitex tree is blooming. Maximilian sunflowers are bursting and the tall goldenrod is starting to bloom. More newcomers are Tropical sage, Southern annual saltmarsh aster, Prairie false foxglove, Whitemouth dayflower, Rio Grande copper lily and still hanging around are Texas bluebells, Cowpen daisies, Buffalo-bur, Prairie tea, Silverleaf nightshade, Tievine, Violet ruellia, Texas snakeweed, Gulf vervain, Lindheimer Doveweed, Carolina snailseed, Turkey tangle frogfruit, Bitterweed and Snow-on-the-prairie.
