We planned a number of native texas wildflowers. This does not match any listed in my seed packet.
SOLVED: Central Texas zone 8b (again)
It could be wine cup plant (Callirhoe involucrata).
It is a deep red color flower. It stands about 24 inches high.
I've never known a wine cup to grow that tall.
I think my wine cups were over 3 foot tall last spring.
Your wine cup plants are lovely. I'm searching but I am not finding wine cups flowers that are the same red of my mystery plant. The plant grows from a central shaft for about six inches before branching off. I uploaded another picture to show the leaf structure.
Ah looking more it seems to be scarlet flax. Yet another non-native popping up in the garden.
Thank you all for your help
Can you take a picture looking straight into the flower itself?
