Wildflowers at McKinney Falls State Park

Let’s return back to McKinney Falls State Park over Easter weekend and wrap-up our time there with some wildflowers (with a side of vines, trees, and shrubs—it was spring, things were blooming!). According to my post drafts, I have another post for Pedernales Falls State Park that I didn’t get around do. Looks like I’ll be sharing another post from there soon!

Lupinus texensis, the Texas bluebonnet

Callirhoe involucrata, winecup

Gaura coccinea

Possibly Bidens (aristosa?)

Onosmodium bejariense, soft-hair marbleseed

Nemophila phacelioides, Texas baby blue eyes

Tradescantia ohiensis, ‘alba’ version

Torilis arvensis, spreading hedge parsley, I think

Amorpha fruticosa, false indigo bush

Clematis texensis

Achillea millefolium, yarrow

Allium canadense

Salvia farinacea, mealy blue sage

Cylindropuntia leptocaulis, Christmas cactus

Viburnum rufidulum, rusty blackhaw

Ungnadia speciosa, Mexican buckeye

Zerene cesonia, southern dogface—I think. It’s pretty worn but this is my best guess and maybe a female.

Callophrys gryneus, Juniper Hairstreak butterfly on Allium canadense
