| This thing appeared in the fall a few weeks after hurricane Ike swept through the Austin, Texas area - September 13, 2008. These pictures are from late October. The plant varies from shin to thigh-high, its habit of growth rather resembling a tumbleweed. It appeared in profusion on a rocky caliche hillside with SW exposure, in the open areas among the scrub juniper, which they call "cedar" in this part of Texas. It bloomed progressively for weeks (the area got 13" of rain in about 12 hours from that storm). Spare foliage, very thin lanceolate leaves. Stems and leaves turn reddish in all-day full sun. Pink blooms, not too many per plant, but the effect of a mass of these is evident. My recollection is that the flowers weren't quite radially symmetrical. Alas, all my photos were in full sun and I have no really good individual flower shots. I have more photos of the mass display. |
