Hey really nice shot, Debbie!
I've never tried to photograph one of those flowers.
I was at Mercer on Saturday morning.

Thanks Therese do you happen to know what kind of flower it is? I forgot to look... Someone walked by and said they thought it was a spider flower but from what I see online that isn't it...

Debbie, I've been looking through my Texas Wildflower book but I can't find a thing. Maybe it's not a wildflower. Sorry I don't know what it is.

i'm not sure what the scientific name for that flower is, but i've always known them as "cat whiskers".

nice shot by the way!

Thanks Patti! I am glad I got to meet you also and hopefully we will get together again out there. I love going out there just right now with my allergies I can't get out there and working 6 days a week I usually can only make it out on Sunday's.
Here is a link to the rest of the photo's I took today at Mercer:
