Spring Flowering [86/366]

Day 86.

I've taken a few minimalist spring flower pictures already, but with the flowers in full bloom all around I wanted to include something a bit different in my 366. The Callery pears that were budding on Day 82 are now wildly in bloom, and I could not resist photographing them today in the evening light. An alternate version is in the comments. Happy spring, everybody.

Looks great in lightbox - hit 'L'!

**** en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solanum_dimidiatum

Solanum dimidiatum is a species of nightshade known by the common names Torrey's nightshade, western horsenettle, and robust horsenettle. It is native to the central United States, where it grows in many types of habitat, including disturbed areas. In California it is known as an introduced species and a noxious weed.[1] It is a rhizomatous perennial herb producing an erect stem up to 80 centimeters tall. It is covered in yellow prickles and branched hairs. The leaves may be up to 15 centimeters long, their edges wavy to lobed and sometimes toothed. The inflorescence is a branching array of several flowers. Each flower has a bell-shaped corolla measuring 3 to 5 centimeters wide. It is lavender to purple, or white. The five large, yellow anthers are about a centimeter long. The fruit is a spherical yellow berry up to 3 centimeters wide.

The gentle pink woodsorrel (Oxalis debilis Kunth) - while not native to North America, it is now a common wildflower found throughout the southeastern United States. These flowers were blooming everywhere in the early fall around Hamilton Pool in western Travis County.
