Don't know what these pretty little flowers are but they've begun to pop up all over our lawn - compliments of the warmer weather we've been having recently...Used my jacket as a b/g - better than the color of dead grass! :)

Austin, TX

Once again, my Texas Pal, Jim Baines has come thru with the proper identification of this flower - it's called Crow's Poison...Your super vast knowledge about most everything under the sun is just astounding, Jim - Thanks again!
