Howdee all,
I am nursing a headache and decided to go thru a few photos from our trip through Texas.
I thought i would post a few forgotten photos…
I took these photos while Birding at Estero LLano Grande State park.
Besides birds..Estero has some nice natural areas with Wildflowers.
There is also a former Camp ground, resident area with this very cool Tropical Flower.
This looks to be some sort of Banana…but is it?I thought the flower was intriguing Orange glowing from inside purple… This was another flower from inside the former camping area..??I saw many different colored cactus flowers while in Texas..and they were all beautiful and intricate..This looks like a morning glory flower..but I don't think it is.
Any Ideas?
That's all for now..
Hoping my Sickstas can help with the flower IDs..for a special prize..direct from
Trader Joes!
See you in cyberspace…
The first sure is a banana. The second purple one I need to know how big the flower was and was it a vine or what?
ReplyDeleteThe last is Physalis lobata-Purple Ground Cherry.
Such beautiful photos! Love the banana tree shots and the flowers (of which I have no idea what they are) are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHi Dawn,
ReplyDeleteSo glad we connected on Twitter! Beautiful photos. The butterfly image is really gorgeous. Hope you are doing well.

When life gets you down, look at cheery photos. That one plant looks confused whether to be bananas or weird artichokes. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI am pretty sure the first purple flower is either Bauhinia pupurea or Bauhinia monandra
ReplyDeletewell the only one i know is the first one with the butterfly on it and that is lantana. the others are very cool and i am curious to know what they are too.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous is right about the lantana.
ReplyDeleteAmaaaaaazing snaps!love that first snap! looks like i will be back here quite often.... :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous flowers and LOVE LOVE LOVE the butterfly! Your posts always brighten my day!
ReplyDeleteHey Beach Girl I am gonna step out on a limb and say Bauhinia monarda.
ReplyDeleteIf this was in South Texas they are everywhere and I miss them.
The common name for this tree is Pata de Vaca as the leaves resemble a cow's foot.
Nice post.
