Last week we went to Austin, Texas to visit my family and my wife wanted to visit Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center since this is the season when much of Texas bursts into an incredible display of wildflowers almost everywhere you look. Among other flowers, I took some photos of Hymenocallis liriosme and Iris virginica var. shrevei and put them on the wiki. http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… Our last night there we went to eat dinner at the home of a longtime friend of mine who has moved out into the Hill Country of Central Texas. We got there before sunset and were out in their "backyard" when I noticed a beautiful blue flower here and there, mostly near or under the live oaks dotting his property. I tried to take some pictures, but most of them were blurry due to the diminishing light (and my own difficulty taking close-ups with a digital camera). Also, the flowers were starting to shrivel up. In all my years growing up and living there, I had never seen this flower, nor have I seen it in any of the bulb galleries. I know it is a bulbs because I got my friend's permission to dig up a couple. (He recognized it as the purple bulb he kept digging up when he prepared the beds for his vegetable garden. He also dug up a lot of larger native rainlily bulbs at the same time.) Mary Sue has looked in her few books on the area and has tentatively identified it as one of the Nemastylis species. I uploaded a few photos to the Mystery Bulbs page. http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… --Lee Poulsen Pasadena area, California, USDA Zone 9-10
