It's Wildflower Wednesday here on the Blog once again. The year is already more than half over, time flies when you are having fun. Today's flower is the Fringe-leaf Ruellia also known as a Prairie Petunia. It usually blooms June through September, I found this one in early July. It's another where the flower opens at night and usually only lasts a day. It is very drought hardy.
It's Wildflower Wednesday here on the Blog! Today's flower is one I enjoy finding, Fringe Leaf Ruellia. It can grow very low to the ground so often is hidden by taller vegetation, I think I see it most where it has been mowed, usual height is 4 to 20 inches. They usually bloom June through September. It is also known as a Prairie Petunia and is very drought hardy. Livestock will eat it as well.
