r/Wildflowers

Happened to look up when putting out recycling and just had to take a picture of this "Spiderwort" Tradescantia and Seedum growing between the driveway and utility porch.

Flowers I found in Oklahoma today!

I’m from Colorado and this is my first time visiting family in Oklahoma. I found these in my family’s yard. It’s so cool to identify flowers that are similar to ones in Colorado, and find new ones!

Picture 1: Passion Maypop flower, passiflora incarnata. I’ve only ever seen one in my life in Colorado and I’ve already seen two here!

Picture 2: ((EDIT) identification genus change)**
The Narrow-leaved Obedient Plant , Physostegia augustifoila. It reminded me of the invasive Snapdragon, but I don’t think I’ve seen this one before.

Picture 3: Poppy Mallow, Callirhoe. I thought it was winecup, but not down here! I haven’t seen this type of poppy before (:

Picture 4: Japanese Honeysuckle, Lonicera japonica. I’ve seen honeysuckle, but not this kind.

Picture 5 & 6: Trumpet creeper, Campsis radicans, new to me! How beautiful!

Picture 7: Pale Meadow Beauty, Rhexia mariana. I thought it looked similar to wild geranium in the Rocky Mountains.

Picture 8: Carolina larkspur, Delphinium carolinianum. I love Foothills Larkspur (Delphinium geyeri) and it’s so cool to see a different genus of it!

Found in North Az at about 8500ft elevation.

This is an invasive wildflower in my area but they certainly are pretty.

Always a favorite when the wild blueberry flowers start to bloom.
