Riverwalker's Pics - Firewheels


Firewheel

The above picture shows a close-up view of a Texas wildflower that is commonly known as Indian Blanket or Firewheel. It is also the state wildflower of Oklahoma.




Firewheels are quite prolific in the early part of summer and will cover the land like a blanket.


Staying above the water line!

These things were really thick and most of them were picture perfect...so I snapped a couple of pics. Usually they can be a little scrawny looking but this year they were really good specimens.

Thanks One Fly.

I was out wandering around the "back forty" when I took the picture. Wasn't much else going on except for a couple of barn swallows zipping around...and they were moving way too fast to get a good pic.

Thanks anon.
