I found this beside our drive way last week. it transplanted well, but I don't know how to care for. (wish I had better pic's) but isn't she pretty? It was FULL of blue blooms when I snatched it out of the ground. the blooms are slowly coming back on.

No, I don't know what it is. I'm always finding some new wild flower out here. I just love it. I thought I'd ask here first if anyone knew before I spent an hour going through pics of texas wildflowers. you know how that goes.

I just did a search of the blue texas wildflowers and it was surprisingly easy to find. I guess I got luckey this time! It's a Hairy Cluster Vine. I couldn't really find much info about it except that it grows in marshy recently disturbed soil. I guess disturbing the soil helps the seed germinate? And it only blooms august-october. bummer. but at least i got it early in it's growing season. they have been found as far north as alabama, I believe it said.
