And into September.
A favorite month because the sun’s arc across the canyon shrinks towards the south, bringing with it angled lights and yellowing cedar elm leaves (the first ones to indicate approaching autumn).
Here are some of the plants that flower around the first of this month (and for most, extending till the end):
Cowpen daisy
Silverleaf nightshade
Common wild petunia (purple and white)
straggler daisy
Tube-tongue
Velvet-leaf mallow
Baby’s breath bluets
Zexmenia
Snow-on-the-mountain
Stickleaf
Clammy weed
Palafoxia
Senna
Purple bindweed
Buttonbush
Wood-sorrel
Widow’s tears
Broomweed
Common Mullein
Lindheimer's Morning Glory
Rock Rose (Rose Mallow, Pavonia Mallow)

Central Texas is said to have an absence of seasons, which is, of course, quite an interesting thought considering the sorts of discomforts we subject ourselves to each August and each February. But maybe they mean the changing seasons. The colors. So here are a few of the changing colors of this September season.
