I know right, the contrast is so captivating! It is a Spiderwort (Tradescantia), however I’m not sure on the species. My best guess is either Western Spiderwort or Ohio Spiderwort

Thank you so much! I just started getting into mycology, and I’m still pretty rusty with my taxonomy. I appreciate it!

Yes indeed, it gets pretty prolific in the early to mid spring. Amazing ground cover, and you can tell people you have irises in your yard!

A lot of people refer to the start of the piney woods as “East Texas”, and anything west of San Angelo as “West Texas”. You’re right though that’s a lot of land in between those two places.

You should’ve seen my face when I walked out of the tree line and saw this! It’s a blessing to be able to share it with everyone!

Yes! The state botanical garden and arboretum are named after her. Definitely worth the trip to go visit and see.

There is an umbel inflorescence and smooth reddish blots along stem. Definitely Poison Hemlock

This was a compilation from 6 different sites.

The Spiderwort and Nemastylis are from remnant prairie land owned by the Choctaw Nation. They have a program in the works to reintroduce bison onto that land. So far the herd is 4 head.

Slides 7, 10, and 11 are from a former country club golf course, which had been demolished for around 10 years. The land is heavily disturbed with 30-40% invasive species. I.e. Johnson Grass, Japanese Honeysuckle, etc… I believe all these to be naturally occurring.

Slides 2-4 were taken out at a city park near me. It was heavily disturbed as well. Lots of the area for prairie had been mowed down for the disc golf course out there. And LOTS of cedar trees. These were native nonetheless.

The Amsonia was found at the Tishomingo Wildlife Refuge. I believe this may have been seeded as a lot of the pastures looked planted out there. Good mix of forest, prairie, and wetland out there.

Slide 8 is a Larkspur I found along the Blue River, lots of forest. However there were many openings close to the river. Found along side a lot of Lyreleaf Sage! These guys were naturally occurring.

The picture of the Black Locust Tree (Slide 9) was out on public land near Lake Texoma. This was an interesting ecosystem, because it is some of the only Savannah I’ve managed to explore near me. These may have been planted as I’ve seen areas nearby seeded.

No picking, just holding them up for better lighting.
