Spring flowers

Richard Allen has a nice little gallery of Oklahoma wildflowers.

Blue-eyed Grass (Sisyrinchium albidum)

Indian Paintbrush (Castilleja indivisa)

The spring rains have come this year and the Indian Paintbrush and Blue-eyed Grass are in full glory. There is also a large colony of vibrant Ironweed on hwy 9 at the pharmaceutical plant. The little Blue-eyed Grass needs to be planted more. Blue is such a rare flower, and this is such a dainty and delightful bearer of Spring.
