Little Texas Blue Eyes

Uploaded: March 21, 2011

Description

Texas Blue Eyes, Blued-eyed Grass - they're known by both names deep in the heart of TX. Most people consider them weeds, growing extensively this time of the year in their turf - I like them - dig them up and replant them in my rock garden...always happy to see them as they're one of the first signs of spring here.

Happy Birthday, Monnie! Warm wishes for the best birthday ever!!

Congratulations to all Finalists!

Ms Val, this is just beautiful! I've never seen this flower, I guess because I've never been to Texas, but I don't blame you for wanting them in your rock garden. An awesome capture!! #9307425
