We found these beautiful medium-pale lavender flowers bordering the nature trail adjacent to our property. These showy and gorgeous flowers immediately caught my eye, and I had to pick one. When we returned home, I researched them.

Comments:
I drive down this road everyday to work and didn't realize until my son had a wildflower project at school how many beautiful flowers are along the way. I took him to pick a few on his list and found everything and more. I'd never seen a firewheel until I went to turn around at the end and there they were. MANY BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS ON THIS ROAD.

From Sonora to Ozona, the Maximilians and Missouris blanket the median for most of the distance. In Ozona, the winecups line both draws but quickly fade out going south on 163.
