Texas bluebells
Texas bluebells – Eustoma russellianum
This beautiful, upright annual by itself would be enough to convince people to save prairies. It prefers moist areas in the open. The petals are generally purple, but can sometimes be white or pink. The flowers form a bouquet. But don’t pick them because it inhibits the plant’s normal propagation from seed.
