Ann-Christine, what a strange coincidence to see these flowers. This afternoon, on my short bike ride, I stopped to photograph some Texas Bluebell flowers. They look very much like your purple flowers. Also, your last set looks very similar to another wildflower I saw today, too. Your flowers remind me of the American Basketflower. What are the flower names in your post? Do you know off hand?

Those Paqueflowers are certainly beautiful in different stages as you have illustrated!

Egidio, how interesting! These are all Paqueflowers. Beautiful in all stages!
